My Pre-Serp Griff 500 has developed a split in the hose that goes between the top of the expansion tank and the block. It is only about 3 inches long. I need to replace it asap as I need to take the car to the garage on Wednesday. Any idea of here i can get one promptly, can it just be bought by the length? If so any suggestions from where? Cheers

Just take it into a motorfactor and buy any coolant hose of the same diameter, then cut the bit you need.

At least it will get you going 'till you get a proper one, for which you could try ACT products.

All sorted now, ended up being a pain to get, none of my local motor factors stocked radiator parts, ended up cutting up and old part I sourced from my local specialist!
