Which hoses are best?

[Baldy67]

One of my water hoses split last night, the engine stalled and watter p*!?ed out of the spilt hose. Which make are the best replacement, the standard TVR, Samco, Goodridge or any other make?

Hi Richard,

Have a look the ACT site www.actproducts.co.uk for some Silicon ones

If you are changing hoses then definately go for the ACT set. High quality and they look great too. And get matching HT leads for a full set!

Cheers lads. Are the purple hoses Samco or ACT's own and Wildfire do you work for ACT?

Wildfire doesn't work for ACT but he did buy the, ACT Griffith.
We use various manufacturers for hoses, most colours are available inc purple.

Cheers for the advice lads. Had the purple hoses from ACT fitted at the weekend, i took the advice of N&L and had the full set changed. Baldy.

Nope, but as 2sheds aid I bought his Griffit and a hose set, leads, exhaust, down pipes for my previous S3. Never had any problems.

Did you know that most busses use silicone hoses, for the very reason that they don't go pop?

Mark, you really are a font of knowledge
