Best place to get one in store?

Halfords only seem to have very small syringes but nothing with a thin rubber hose. (for removing some excess coolant)

Ebay is by far the best place for random one off things like this.

Go to a pound shop and buy a turkey baster. In fact, buy a couple - oil doesn't particularly agree with them, but they're very useful.
