Oh Bugger

After a rather spirited drive yesterday I noticed water on the floor. Looks like hose from bottom of rad (the one with the metal section on the middle) is leaking from the jubilee clip. May just need a tighten but as with everything on these cars it may be worth replacing as new

Its just as likely to be the metal pipe itself - a few seem to be coming to the end of their life now.

Are they easy to get hold of? If I do decide to get a new set of silicon hoses do I also get the metal part????? Is silicon the way to go? Seems to be £160+ for a full set? Any other alternatives?

Cheers

Hi Steve

The S/S pipes from ACT arn't too bad (did look at getting some made and couldn't cut the cost) I bought the silicone hoses from them as well - not cheap but good quality and they did all fit

Thanks, do you have a link to them as I have not come across ACT before

Not to worry, just found them, thanks

Much the same as mine

I am on the case ~ have given the old pipes to a possible supplier ~ will update when I hear from him

Can you still get the rubber hoses and are they worth the saving?
