On a c20xe engine.
Radiator hose (left one) is leaking, needs to be replaced, but was wondering which hose "set" could be bought? Was thinking about coloured hoses (Blue) but which set would I buy? Links? 
Airflow meter, havent done a paper clip test or got rob to put the vaux computer on it. But i'm assuming it is, as it's dipping in power in high revs etc? How much are they from vaux, part number? I'm guessing around £100?
Also sump gasket? My sump is leaking a little bit, no holes etc, think I need a new gasket. Where from and what's the cost?
Thanks a lot.
Alex

order a set of chris astley "roose motorsport" silcone hoses
chris astley again, and get an 8v sump gasket, that should help stop the leak

Genuine MAF sensors are pricey. I'd ring Autovaux for an accurate price. They sell discounted genuine parts and I think a MAF sensor is about £80 from them. Don't be fooled into buying a pattern sensor, they are rarely of high enough quality to even bother doing the work replacing them.

Those Roose hoses look tidy too, especially as they do a Corsa 2.0 kit 
Also, 8v gasket is recommended by me too as they do a much better job than the original.
Look on ebay for Chris Astley Motorsport's shop for those parts

ahhh 20XE ownership
Find soemone with a large stock of MAF sensors, I've seen new ones not resolve an issue. They are fucking pricey too.
Sump - known for leaking I'm afraid, whoever does it for you make sure the car is sat there to set for awhile.

AFMs normally work or not on an XE< it's very rare they do things like dropping power at high rpm.
Thats more likely to be fuel starvation, or weak spark IMO
