[quote="meek.tv"]http://www.operation-cobra.com/Cobra-En ... -Close.jpg do it!
Woah!...that's one nice block! Is that your car meek? An AC cobra? Looks like a small block ford v8....
Beautiful machine... I actually got an opportunity to sit in (on?) one not long ago,it was a bit of a squeeze though, my knees were level with my ears,i couldn't get my feet on the pedals,and my head protruded a foot or so above the stainless hoops that are supposed to protect your head in the event of a crash. It took 3 members of staff to pull me from the car as i'd got stuck in it... Cool machine... (till i got in it )

They might last longer than the average 10 years of the originals Tom.

Re: how worried should i be....
& they work out cheaper & look cooler if you get coloured ones 

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
Re: how worried should i be....
ok new hose has arrived, any tips before i try to tackle it?
im hoping that i wont loose too much coolant as its the top hose or should i just expect to replace the whole lot?

Flush the whole lot, unless it's been done recently IMO.
