Send a PM to flippa, he does replacement silicon hoses. You can also get them from several of the firms that advertise on this site.

Here's his ebay store - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/silicone-coola ... asstQQtZkm . If you want a genuine Mazda hose, then check out bongobits etc on the Main site homepage or even try your local mazda dealer - for a part no. go to lushprojects - http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/

If you fit flippas hoses, be aware they are silicon (which is good - they last virtually forrever I think) and they don't like having clips that could cut into them, so you will want good quality jubilee clips (Flippa will advise on type and where to get them if need be I'm sure)

I think Flippa stocks the hose clips now.

I recently ordered the big pipe from the engine under the driver's seat from Flippa & it came with 2x quality jubilee-type clips. Not sure if he does that as standard now, but I didn't specifically order them.

When I bought the remaining five silicone coolant hoses from him just before Christmas he apologized that he was out of clips at the time. Don't know if there was any adjustment in the price because I did not get any clips from him.
