Title: Cosworth - Rad top hose
Post by Tim_Lusername on Mar 27^th, 2007, 3:38pm

Hi

Have tracked my coolant leak down to a split top hose
Hose 2 here on the cosworth picture
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/leaks.htm

Two questions for you
Can anyone reccomend an online store to get a replacement?
I've had a Google but nothing jumped out at me.

The clip that attaches the pipe to the radiator is a type that I've not meddled with before - I assume you just grip the ends with pliers right? Oh and is it reusable!

Thanks for any help
Tim

Yep, just press the ends together to un-tighten. Fully reusable, however I prefer to swap them with the regular screw type.

Ditto, I have swapped to a jubilee clip style arrangement, though there is nothing wrong with the style of clip you have found, they are widely used on cars.

Try:

www.fordpartsuk.com

click on Trevor Porter at the top ish left of the screen and e-mail him your parts enquiry. He will respond with price and full details. Many of us here use this site, I have had good experiences with them 8)

Dave thanks for the link. Don't know why that didn't show on Google, or at least I didn't see it!

Boogeyman If you have it I'll take it off your hands :-)
Let me know and what you want for it

Cheers
