Normally I steer well clear of ****part, but any views on their coolant hoses?
Having just fitted a new RAD, I want to replace all the coolant hoses before I put new antifreeze in.
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.

Keith, I had sh1tpart top hose on a Td5 and wasn't overly impressed TBH. Softer rubber than OEM and wasn't even the exact same size, was a little too long. :confused2:

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.![]()
Better than being to short.![]()
It did, day after we arrived, 5 hours at 75/80 was too much for itHope 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 ?
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....![]()
