Getting to the point where my water hoses are starting to get a little tired (16 years old, 120K miles etc), so before they start failing I start to become very acquainted with Mr AA at the roadside, I'd like to do a pre-emptive update at the next service (March 2012 time).

Given that I've got 5 months to find a decent alternative, I can take my time and take advantage of any special offers that may be going between now and then.

With the above in mind, does anyone any recommendations/know of any offers brewing?

Ta.

I managed to get a full set of originals (rubber) from Racing Green only a few weeks ago.
I may have snafooed the last of a couple of them though bandit
The also sell part/full silicone sets. I haven't compared prices with ACT or anyone else on that.
You would probably to talk it through with them if you wanted to go the all originals route...

Cool- I had ACT on the list, Racing Green are just round the corner from me, and their prices is not far off the ACT price given one is with and one is without VAT....though with ACT I could get cherry bombs at the same time... tongue out

Question- what the beggery is nippinog?
