OK I'm looking to buy some washer hose for my Chim 'cause mine is all cracked and nasty (the bit of black rubber hose about 4" long that connects from the bonnet area to the wiper arm).

I have trawled around everywhere and finally found somewhere, but will only sell it in large quantities.

Does anyone know where I can get half a meter of this 4mm hose from :confused:

or alternatively if there are enough people wanting the same thing, I can buy a reel of the stuff and share it out :thumbup:

if your interested in replacing your old perished hose - send me a PM, or alternatively if you know where I can buy some from in a small amount, please let me know :)

I could really do with some of this too - mine split on the way to Le Mans and I have searched everywhere to find it.

Count me in too. Mine have gone all grey, perished and slack. I have to use a small cable tie to stop the tube falling out on the driver's side wiper.

They're continent at the moment, but it's only a matter of time before one splits, so I'd very much like some new tubing if there is some going.

Jon / Stringbag etc.

Send me a PM, if there are enough people that want some (ie about 10) then I'll go and buy a reel and it'll be about £2 for half a meter'ish!

Alternatively you could just buy the Leven washer system... new blades and new tubing and a better windscreen washing solution all in one...

Is that flexible rubber then? I thought that was bendy plastic?

Sorry, I should have replied, I did go to B&Q and it is a plastic not very flexible pipe, right diameter and colour (different thickness) not really suitable for washer hose - thanks for the suggestion anyhow

NB I did think about the Leven kit, but its only really the hose I need, I'm quite happy'ish with the wipers apart from that!!

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone picked up the deliberate gag potential I built into that sentance.

Sorry then - I must have looked at some other brand which looked similar to the washer hose but was very much bendy plastic!

I've bought the reel of proper washer hose now so if anyone wants any, send me a mail, perhaps I could sell some of it off as irrigation pipe then

I met a Cerbie owner of this parish in Middlewich the other week. He owns a company that makes hoses, and had some lovely purpley-blue hoses on his Cerb.

I'll post in the Cerbera forum and ask him to contribute here.

Ok I'll give it up!

P.O.D. Tis I the "hosepipe man" (hydraulics to be exact)
I have coils and coils of blue silicone hose. 4mm i.d. for washers.
I can send out as much or as little as is required for each vehicle. say £ 1.50 per metre? plus postage.
If anyone wants any please email me through my profile.

ps, I'm also a Goodridge Hose distributor.
