As in the one connecting to the thermostat housing as seen here:
I refuse to pay £30+ for a Roose one as I'm spending too much money on this damn car as it is.
Speaking to Jamie (shrek) the other night he said he thinks there is a pipe off a standard Vauxhall engine of some sort that is a straight fit?
Anybody able to help?
If not I'll try and source another std. calibra one and cut it properly so that it doesn't leak like the current "slash cut" one does lol.
Cheers

if you got a roose one, you would just have to get the rest of them aswell for the engine bay......
in the old days, i used to get a flexi bit from motorfactors and cut it to length to fit. was only about a tenner.

That was also what I thought, and tbh, I cba with the hassle of changing them all, and still can't justify £150ish for a full set - maybe that's just me though!
James - Cheers mate, that's what Jamie thought it might be but wasn't sure. Literally the same hose but off a 1.0 12v yeh?

Yeh looks like the chappy just at a different angle then - no 12volts in my local scrappys - mainly 1.2 8vs lol.
Just u2u'd shaunmods to see if he has his old engine kicking about - if not will pop to Vaux when I cba. Won't bother changing the hose yet anyway as it'll mean changing the coolant for the 3rd time in just over a month lol.
