]Hi guys,
Got this hose off the rear side of the engine. It's split quite bad and leaked the coolant right out of the system.
Can anyone tell me if this is a 'stealer' part only or whether I can buy it in car spares shop?
I have attached pictures below.

Always a 50:50 mix....I use what ever is cheap at the time, but make sure it has the anti-corrosion inhibitors in it and mine was original with blue coolant....some have pink. Stick with whatever colour your has currently to prevent mixing as mixing different colours can strip out the additives in it to protect the engine.Cheers Saint. Have already ordered it from Adventure 4 x 4 in Morley (no affliation). paid £18 + VAT inc delivery. Will get it tomorrow and put the beast back together....
As a matter of interest which coolant make would you put in and what mix?
Whatever is on sale or the cheapest on the shelf at the local autofactors at the time....even Halfrauds if I need to....aslong as it is changed as per the schedule, make is immaterial really!Cheers Saint. That's a good shout ("fixing the next coolant problem!")
As mine's all drained out with the split hose, I can't tell what colour it was. Although there are signs of pink dried coolant around some of the hoses, so I'm guessing it would have been pink...:
So do you know of any of the cheapest pink brands? Gonna need 5 litres I reckon.....
Thanks in advance...
Cheers for that. Although an independent told me that if I don't use the right one, then the coolant sensor will always give the "check coolant level" warning.
Have you ever experienced this?
Coolant sensor isnt that clever.....it will detect the wrong ratio if it is really out of whack as it measures the specific gravity of the mix...but as for brand, it cares not!
Bu the way, does anyone know the Coolant capacity on the 4.4v8?
From dry 17.3 litres. Refill after drain 13 litres.

Seems like a good price that. Any thoughts anyone?
