So, I have a leaking heater matrix, and short-term (until I can get up to Jimmer @ Powerzed) need to block it off. I have seen many threads on bypassing the heater matrix with a short length of hose 5/8" in dia.

 

So where is the best place to get this dia of hose and how long does it need to be?

Cheers!

Anyone?

Have you tried a motor factors? You will need enough to be able to do this without kinking the pipe, link below suggests 18"

As Andrew says. Even Halfords should carry it. If your headed this way then hyphose at fleetsbridge will have it. They have virtually everything.

Sounds like I need to get into Poole then! Thanks guys - will pop in tomorrow. Hyphose look better than Halfords!

I got mine from Halfrauds when i did mine years ago, a longer length helped with creating a smooth bend as the Halfords pipe isnt as reinforced and therefore a shorter length would kink.
