I noticed some hoses look past their best while i was having a route around the engine bay.Figured make sense to replace some.

Found a company ASH on ebay seem to have loads.of gear that might need.

Is the normal silicone hose ok for most?

Im not sure which hoses you need to get the reinforced pipe for,think its oil and fuel resistant or suitable for higher temp aswel.

Can someone point me in the right direction??

Also how would I find which diameter for which hose??

Loads of threads on here so gonna keep reading away.

Thanks

I used ASH on ebay, great seller (only one time postage took a bit longer than it should), good prices and colour choices. I got some fluoro stuff for a very good price. It's the internal diameter of the hoses you're after, you can often get this info from the how tos or its a case of unclipped and measure, and yes its fluoro lines for anything that contains oil or nasties like some of the breather tubes.

Oh and get a good range of stainless jubilee to replace those hateful oem one time use clips.

Thanks.one of the hoses nearly.crumbled with a bit of a squeeze. Did you put in your catch can? If so which one did you opt for?

I did I went the full monty and fitted a saikou michi, very good it was but not on for long before the car died. Sold it a while ago. As it happens I still have the fluoro lines I used to fit it,made to measure for the Octy with joiners. I did the full breather delete down to the 90 degree elbow below dipstick. I also have silicone hose to go from brake servo to one way valve on manifold. If you like you can have all I can find with some blanks and clips and bits of hose for like £20 posted? Call it a catch can fitting kit if you like. All Blue hose as that was the only colour I could get in fluoro at a half decent price.

If you pm me your email I'll send some pics so you can see what you'll get?
