still working fine on mine, they are cut a little long so may need a trim if you can't get it in, better than being too short I guess?
No problems with their hoses i have a couple on mine. Top hose and C shaped one at back of head. The C shaped on is a little thinner than the Landrover hose so i would fit proper screw clips to it rather than the spring ones fitted as standard. I had a weep with spring clips but fine with screw clips.

On my 4.6 petrol Thor engine, the top hose between rad, engine & Tee down to thermostat was one piece, now a plastic tee piece & 3 separate hoses.
My Britpart hose assembly lasted 5 months before the molded Tee piece broke.
Money refunded but replaced it with a Bearmach one.
Look for previous thread with pictures.

S/S Jubilee type clips yes. Land rover are to be congratulated on fitting stainless steel clips on fuel tank filler neck connector but with corrodible screw fittings. Had to cut them off. Other than that tank out for lift pump was a piece of pee.
Not the fault of the clips although i don't particularly like them. The hose is slightly thinner walled so they do not grip as they should with the Britpart hose.
Hope rad didn't go on your UK trip? And was the UK trip a success - you know, quite roads, cheep fuel and great motorway service statione etc etc ?

There speaks the voice of experience.
If it's to long you can cut it down if it's to short you are fubarred. Unless you are fortunate and have a Japanese adding on tool.

Is that the one with the extra strong suction pump?

Better than being to short.
Not great when as a result it means chaffing on air con pipes.
It should be the correct size and not need cutting!! Earnt their name Sh!tpart on that hose IMO....

It did, day after we arrived, 5 hours at 75/80 was too much for it
Shame as I have a spare here in France.Didn't buy any expensive UK diesel, filled up just before the ferry and it lasted. UK Roads are terrible, full of pot holes and the main A27 completely closed when we arrived, traffic also awful, 40 minutes to do 5 miles
Not going again

Still better than being to short. Buy the correct one from Land rover then will only cost you an arm and a leg. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-PEH101080 Is this it?
