    Nope. (EDIT: Correction. I did get one PM from you giving a general price and saying you would confirm colours and price)

    I've just had a bit of a brainwave and I'm sorted.

    In a word...Camskill.

    £56.05 for both hoses delivered.

    Yay

    Thought it seemed a bit of an odd idea but didn't like to say.

    So after 3 weeks, I called Camskill and they say they sent me an email saying hey couldn't provide them. I have no record of receiving that email. Ho-hum.

    I've now ordered a full 24-piece set of black hoses from Winner Racing in China for 102 quid plus import duties and parcelfarce rip-off admin charge.

    We'll see if they arrive and if they fit when they arrive.

    The hoses turned up yesterday from a place West of London and with no duty to pay.

    So, I unbundled the pack and set about matching them up to the pipes under the car.

    Apart from a breather pipe that will need cutting to allow a T-piece to be fitted, I match every piece up to a hose on the car except one...

    Any one any clues where this little beauty belongs ?

    There was also a bit of a disappointment. One of the radiator hoses (remember that I bought the whole kit to get the rad hoses ) comes with a bit missing



    On the up side, I found my old hoses in the loft to compare the new ones to

    Unlucky with the rad hose. Are you going to put a metal piece in between?

    I've contacted the seller and going to give them a chance to sort it first by sending me another longer one. I might fit the OEM ones in the interim, not sure.

    I'm just a bit miffed at having it as an ongoing saga as I was going to get some bits done to the car but its all waiting on the hoses
