I've noticed that some of my coolant hoses are starting to swell and have become soft I think it's age related (no puns about Viagra in me tank please) particularly from the rear of the engine into the cabin heater matrix.
Do any of you esteemed forum members know of a supplier of more resilient silicon type hoses that will replace them (having the correct OEM fittings on ??)
 
Cheers, @kurtjohnson10
I use Brit car and usually opt for genuine but this is the second set (in 7 years that are weakening) hence looking for a better replacement

Agree that brit part are not as bad as painted in some cases
