Coolant bottom hose.

Sprung a leak in one of the coolant hoses that connect from the back of the engine to the under floor pipes that run to the front of the car.( many thanks to the AA man who spent a long time getting me back on the road) On inspection noticed the rubber pipe ends have different size bores. Has any one swapped these with silicone or are these standard ford hoses? Codes if anyone knows them please. Many thanks.

origionals are rubber mate and perish, change the whole lot for silicon, a search on here will provide loads of details, just search "silicon hoses" you will find an old post of mine from when i did mine with loads of info

Thanks. Had a quick look but couldn't find your post. I will find my glasses and do a search when I have a bit more time. Many thanks.

Search for water hoses. That will bring up the post.

It basically tells you to buy 2x4m length of 3/8's silicone.
