The top hose that runs from the metal pipe to the top of engine under the drivers seat seems to be the one (suppose thats co's being nearest the cly head it gets hottest and oily'est.) the "other" top hose hose from rad to metal pipe dosn't seem to suffer as much.

Might be worth approaching a company and finding out whats involved. I will give it a miss though , I get a bit disheartned by some of the response recieved when you are trying to do something for the good of the majority. You wouldn't belive a couple of the PM's I've had infering how much I am ripping peeps off.

judging by the prices nick, would work out very expensive but a very good idea

i replaced my whole set on my bongo this week was the best part of 200quid for a bit of rubber, if any one could get a set made up im sure they would be very popular indeed

btw my old set have been delivered to a silicon hose company to be priced and samples made up

.....it may or may not be a goer depending on price ....and how many people would be up for replacing the whole set of hoses ? i have read this week of a few people replacing bleed pipes with garden hose

Not replacing with garden hose, but encasing the bleed pipe with garden hose to protect it from abrasion Flippa

im useless with engines but thanks to janna vanner he showed me where the bleed hose was hiding while at the welsh bash, good thing to it was rubbing against the alternator, when i got home, cut a small length of garden hose sliced it lengthways and used that to protect the bleed hose.free information just for the asking and a smile while they show or tell you.
