Does anyone know what size of jubilee clip I need for securing the large front to back plastic coolant hose to the rubber hose at the rear. Ta

iirc outside diamter of the plastic pipes is 38mm, so add a bit more for to allow for the hose. not sure if people think jubillee clips are the pukka thing for the job, but I've got them on mine, used 2 per joint so as not to have to tighten them too much, no disasters yet 6 months on from fitting.

Cheers, Vag use spring clips but you cant get them on without disconecting the pipes
