Heater Hoses

[AndyC]

I had one fail last night, when I looked it was totally rotten. I found a length of hose in my shed that sort of fitted so I'm up and running again. I'd like to replace both heater hoses as they've both swelled up, and maybe the radiator hoses too (MA12). Are they main agent only, or are they available cheaper elsewhere? I've had a look at what I consider to be the obvious places online but no joy. Any other hoses likely to fail that I should look at? Or, has anyone got any good hoses lying around?

cheers
Andy

Buying new would be main dealer only I'd imagine.

how long have you been running with that?

interested...

does it not just sag though (putting a lot of strain on the fixing points where the jubilee clips clamp down?)

IIR the small rear heater hoses are abour £15 each (+ vat) and the fronst are aboyt £8 & 12....From nissan....rip off the only equivelant I could get from my local was the top rad but was the wrong preform when it arrived (£6)...even went back to check ppart numbers etc.....
