Avoid the pattern ones like the plague!

I bought a ****part one and have had to replace it with genuine, coolant leaked along the fibres in the hose on the cheap one, no clue why but I'd happily advise anyone not to fit one.

+1 - buy genuine when it comes to top-hose.

Here's how it went for me with non-genuine: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/td5-top-hoses-263893.html
