I have just fitted a silicon water hose from Brickwerks and I am very pleased how easy it was and how well made it looks, I have trawled through the post on here but I can't find any opinions on them i.e. longevity or suitability, am I the only one to fit them?

I can see from that I am going to have to replace a few more, my existing ones do not look like that, mine are in sections with jubilee clips everywhere

I did the hoses and fitted the s/steel front to back pipes at the same time, expensive but peace of mind.
So have you cut in a repair piece, or fitted a complete hose

I fitted the piece in the top right of your first photo, it was almost half the cost of a rubber one from JK, what engine is that btw?

Why is there not a hose from your expansion tank?
