Coolant hoses & swan neck

[f@-pots]

Hi , having had a bit of a deluge from the radiator in traffic the other day ( fan wire came off ) I duly removed the rad and hoses etc to check them out.They look like originals to me and after 50,000 miles deserve replacement. I've checked out one 'performance product' web site and the bit's look great but a bit pricey, does anyone know of an alternative source for silicone hoses and the swan neck bit? I also thought it would be a good time to bite the bullet and sort out a couple of blowing manifolds,I've already sheared one bolt and it feels like theres going to be two more before the manifolds are off ! Thank god for right angle 'windy drills'

Wont they be Rover parts ? Just a thought.

rallydesign.co.uk are very cheap for silicone hoses, 90 degree air hose elbow for £20!!!!...and have a look on ebay for stainless steel tube

Just out of interest, is it easy to get the old ones off and put new ones on?

The other ACT mods I've had done have been superb and I'm sure these would be no different...

ACT also do a full silicone hose kit, but are quite a bit more expensive than the one's Andy has suggested. They also do the stainless steel replacement pipes. :-

Swapped mine over last summer (I think) the only issue I had was removing the old corroded jubilee clips...a dremel comes in very handy
