45 diesel top radiator hose - MG-Rover.org Forums

tarathedog · 26-09-2010, 22:57

The top radiator hose has been rubbing on the air intake hose and has worn so thin it will fail soon.
It is the hose from the top of the rad to the T piece
I am having a nightmare getting hold of this hose....i can get the full 3 piece and plastic T hose unit, but this is £50 plus. all i want is the short hose from the rad.............. does anyone know where i can get one or know of a part from another car that can be adapted

Thanks

I'm afraid it's bite the bullet and buy the 3 piece set (this is only how it comes, as i found out in your situation) or, go to Halfrauds and try for a bendy universal bit of hose.

Ask in the "wanted" section too as often people are breaking these cars and can offer you a second hand hose in decent condition for very little cash

has anyone used flexi hoses from samco or gates. seems a bit expensive but it is cheaper than driving round the scrappies.

How much wear does yours have? I replaced the whole assembly as I had a split at the coolant elbow, but I kept the good bits as a spare. the hose in question that I have has some wear, but isn't close to failing so could sell it?
