Hi all,
Just thinking out loud ..
A water hose went yesterday on the old 94 200k Rover 218SD (1.9 non turbo) and the Rover / MG part people want 31.50 + pnp + Vat for a replacement (assuming they can actually get one).
Whilst I would go there if I had to (half what I paid for the car 7 years ago ) I wondered if anyone had dealt with this lump, maybe when it was also in Pug or Citroen and may know if I could get away with a length of straight hose (I need to get the alternator out of the way to see the connections easily).
It's the one that goes from the o/s of the oil cooler (sits at the base of the oil filter) to underside of the thermostat, about 18" away. It looks like it might be about 1/2" ID and is basically straight with two 90 deg end sections (in a Z shape).
Or, would a Citroen / Peugeot deal stock one or would it likely have different hoses?
Cheers, T i m
