I see Roose Motorsport do a full silicone set for the 1.8 blacktop Zetec 4/4, around £250 when you include clips, carriage and VAT. I don’t particularly like bling, so would choose black, and that would also match the big black air inlet hose.
The car is now 12 years old, but low mileage - however I am probably going to have a new, bigger Aluminium rad fitted, so it would seem like a good idea to replace the existing (original) hoses.
My question is - what are the advantages and disadvantages? Preferably answers from experience, not from the advertising blurb! Also does anyone know what a full set of rubber hoses would cost?
Thanks, Nigel
