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 ??)

I have to be fair and say the ones i bought off Brit Part are working fine. I know they are a little hit and miss but not all their stuff is bad

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

Only because they don't have bearing or moving parts.
