Ordered hose from Flippa today. Dirty great hole (now) in the one from inlet manifold back to rad. Taken me a week to find it. Leak was tracking across the plastic undertray and dripping away toward the back of the Bongo.
I like the idea of these hoses and will change with the same as time goes by.

Thats me Flippa. Well done for gettting a quality product on the market for us Bongoliers.
Thanks Simon for your commiserations. I have searched high and low for that leak and found it this afternoon. Happily it didn't turn out to be the thing that goes on top of the engine block. SShhh!!!

no probs sam...have you any idea how the hole came to be ...age? was owt touching it ? was it a pin hole that just got bigger?...not trying to flog you more

but check your other hoses....im only asking because i have been selling quite a few of this certain hose and if its prone to go i want to know why

Oi Flippa.
Any chance of some replacment hoses for all the metal pipes? The upper pipe to the rear heater matrix is looking pretty tired along with the bigun' that runs front to the engine has a rust patch.
