radiator hose (top)

[amarfresh]

i have a 95 disco. this morning, my radiator hose has cracked and is now leaking/hissing/spitting. (when i shut my car off it i have an amazing hissing noise and an instant steam room with coolant aroma!)

previously, the hose had developed a leak and I cut off the first 2 inches where it was leaking... this car has been driven 4 months out of the past 2 years and the hose is completely dryrotted. (i can't wait to see what else fails.)

i was wondering if i can use any replacement flex radiator hose from autozone or the like:

http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiB...ator+Hose+(1-3/4"+I.D.+x+18"+Length)$6818$SPE

no one seems to carry a direct replacement. if i can use a flex replacement, i would appreciate suggestions as to the length and diameter i would need.

thanks,
amar

a flex should work on the upper hose, but you will have to contact someone who sells rover parts to get the bottom on....

try Nathan at http://www.discountbritishparts.com/ he will have anything you need, or can get it cheap.... okay cheaper than just about anywhere else.
