Help - What are these hoses called?

Hi all,

One of my hoses has split rendering Elmo unusable!!

The replaceing of several hoses was on my to do list (when funds allow) but allas.... Too late!

My questions are:

1) What hoses do i need (what are they called?) - See description below
2) Where is the best / cheapest place to get them from ASAP?

The first hose i require is found under the drivers seat. It is the large rubber hose that enters the main engine to the top right and goes off towards to front of the vehicle.

The second is also found under the drivers seat. It enters the engine to the left and lower than the above. It is hard to get to and set back in slightly. This one goes down and towards the rear of the van.

The third rubber hose is from under the passenger seat. It is a smallish hose to the right of the alternator. Someone has cut this hose and put a joiner in at some stage so could do with replacing!

Another weird thing is that when my coolant alarm went off to warn me (thank god) my 100amp fuse blew??

Your help would be much appreciated as Elmo looks sad parked up and getting to work is now an issue!!

Thanks,

Lloydy.

it would help if you could post a few pictures, if you have a search on ebay for silicone hoses, you will probably find the ones you after, if you pm, flippa on here he is the guy that sells them, he will probably be able to answer any questions

Cheers Wayne

I suggest you send a PM to flippa re hoses.
I think the fuse blowing was nothing to do with the alarm going off. Mine sounded for ages when testing a new addition to the alarm, but no fuses blew.

Hi lloydy...the first 2 of your hoses are easy to identify:

(1) engine to steel pipe drivers side..(under drivers seat)

(2)above starter motor to rear heater (drivers side)

(3) you may have to put a pic up to id this one....as you say its been cut so you won't know its true shape, you say its to the right of the alternator ,is it small bore ?,does it run from the thermostat housing ?

let me know if i can help :wink:
