Time for some new coolant hoses

Post by thedogsbollox » Fri Aug 21, 2009 2:32 pm

Well not a good start to my 2 week Ireland trip. Got 10 miles out and coolant hose split. Just waiting for the AA. Tis the hose on the right side of the engine just under the starter. Looks split right at the end. Might be able to detatch it and cut the end off. We will see. Where can I get a set of new hoses?

Not a good start Tony, A univeral replacement may do the job for now, just make sure it's bled properly, don't let them do some half arsed fill it up & off you go job.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

No worries there mate. Thankfully I saw one of Haydend demos at the bash so will make sure it is done properly.
I managed to see that it is split right at the hose clip so I might be able to remove it and cut the end off. Just praying I haven't cooked the engine.
