Bottom hose ...

[Sooty]

.. has split yet again.

Thats the 3rd one since November. The hose from the bottom of the swirl pot to the rad which is awkward to get a replacement for as its 35mm at one end and 38mm at the other.

Has anybody had the same problem and if so, how did you cure it?

I've a feeling its ripping when the engine rocks under hard acceleration. Maybe I have a dodgy engine mount !!

Have you taken a look at ACT's website, as they sell just about any hose you'll need?

Yes, the coloured silicone hoses that ACT sell are very good. They also do replacement connecting pipes in stainless steel. Well worth the money, in an attempt to tart the engine bay up a little!

Thanks guys, Just to ad that if people don't like the silicone bling factor they can be supplied in black.

I ought to be on commission, Tim!

Is that you selling the pushrods and rockers in the classified?

Thanks for the replies.

I've put a flexihose on for the time being. The nearside engine mount is knackered so will get that fixed and hopefully it will stop the hose ripping.

If not, I'll get a set of ACT silicone hoses.
