Interested in a set for the GS and I hope you have more luck than the wally I teamed with for the 4200. I suggest regular contact Loz. There is an improvement you can make to the lower rad hose to clear the cross member better whilst you are doing it. Also note that some vehicles have a long metal T at the back of the engine and others a short one, I don’t see it matters but obviously a single part replacement would be preferable as it is clearly Fiat part bin designed.

I'll have a word with Matty and see if we can get Ash to send them up to MK , then after any positive response i'll be happy to pop up to Roose in person and run through things , it appears its not too far from my mate in Brigg

Sorry guys, many things have jumped ahead of the queue with my car, so that I haven't had the new hoses fitted.
I contacted Roose and let them know I would donate my old ones for the cause.
Until my wife gets work post Covid economic slowdown, it'll have to wait.

No worries , as I said my engine is in the shop for rebuild , hence all the hoses are readily available , but kudos for kicking this one off , the age of these cars now requires something a little more durable

Haven't checked, but assuming they're different to 4200/GS, would a GT set be worth organising? Bigger order, better price overall, etc. If so, perhaps, and I don't wish to be presumptuous by suggesting it, maybe asking itare Sam to use his hoses. Maybe some good could come following his recent misfortune.

Just thinking that myself, I contacted Roose about a GT set last year when a top hose split on mine but they wanted ALL hoses off an engine. If @Itare Sam is willing, we could get a set made up.

this is the one I was referring too earlier, there are two variants available.
