Sorry, I know very little about S's (Cerbera driver), but what bore size is the hose ?

I urgently needed a radiator top hose for my Mk1 Golf track car a few months back & ended up using a "Hot Water Supply" washing machine hose with the ends chopped off - in fetching red.....

(The hose is still fitted & working well ! boxedin)

You can by universal radiator hose at Halfords, its ribbed and bends very well without kinking.

The (new) water pump on my S sounds a bit like a washing machine, so the hose would make a perfect match smile

Although this looks relatively straightforward, it has a subtle bend in it which is absouletely crucial to allow it to clear the fanbelt/ auxiliary drive belt. I got my replacement from David Gerald TVR who had it in stock. IIRC the cost was c. £25 which seemed ludicrous for a short piece of hose but it was shiney silicone blue and it did the job....
