I have sprung a leak from one of my hoses. I need to investigate which hose but as the standard hoses arent any good, I want to replace them all to avoid any further problems and also to compliment my new pro alloy radiator.

Does anyone know how many hoses there are in total or know the exact hoses I would need to order?
Im sure samco or sparco may do them but im not sure if it comes as a complete kit or if if I will have to ordereach hose separately.

Any advice would be much appreciated (pics would be nice)

Many thanx

Thats great cheers. I will look into them and get some ordered.

That intercooler looks amazing, who makes that? I was going to go for the pro alloy but that looks mental

It is massive compared to the pro alloy one :-)

However i developed a single turbo kit and cut the rear chasis off the car so the intercooler won't fit others cars I'm afraid... Mine is Modified as well to have the dump valve incorporated but they are actually only £150 on eBay as they are a universal fit one lol

Wow thats amazing. Proper bespoke noble you have there.

Unfortunately when it comes to cars my skill lies in driving them rather than the tech engineering side. I have learnt a lot since owning my 3r but you have taken it to a different level.You must really know your stuff.

How come you went for one turbo? Is there less lag and more punch?

I have been in a 728 bhp , 625ft ultima and it scared the senses. I can only imagine your noble would do the same. :0

Did the ultima thing 10years ago with a 500bhp beast that was featured in autocar mag... The noble is a step on for sure IMO.
I developed the single turbo as I was seriously disappointed with the 'top spec' twin turbo package I was sold a few years back, its essentially the same engine internally as some others running huge power atm but the turbo and exhaust is unique and allows a huge spread of power, it isn't leggy either (unlike the twin package I had).
Also the package as a whole puts the power to the ground very effectively AND is very progressive and easy to control, I love it :-)

Cost me a silly amount of money though :-( but at least I know it will always be unique :-)

AFAIK the ACT kit is made by SFS. Not sure they will sell direct though
