280i rad hoses

[hallsie]

Anyone know what the top and bottom hoses are off of for my Cologne V6 280?

Its all back together and ive filled it up with all fluids ready to turn ove in about 20 mins, but theres a leak from both hoses and they are as brittle as a brittle thing!

wish me luck

I have an series 1.5 (upright rad)
I took my bottom hose in to a spares shop and said "got anything like this"

I was given a hose that had the corrent bends in it and cut off what I didn't need. Took a couple of minutes.
Top hose would be much easier.

Hi Stu

No easy answer to this one, it just depends on what rad you have and what water pump you have?
Best thing is to take them to and old fashion car parts factor and see if they can match them. I was lucky that I took a gamble on a hose of e-bay for the bottom rad/water pump. It was a Ford hose but it only had a part number (Can't remember num.) If my memory is correct it was from a Capri or Granada!

Hi Mate..I think the top one is a granada as the capri one is too short..And the bottom is a MK3 2.8i capri..I know that mine has a granada radiator in there..Ziga

Just phoned Tickover but they have no stock..They can get silicone ones..I had a search but couldnt find any but found a site that have them and equivalent part numbers if its of any use..
