Hi,
just as every thing was going well my car dumped most of its coolant on the garage floor.
We had just parked with a hot engine and the bottom radiator hose blew a hole in its self.
The car does not overheat, but I am told this was caused by heat soak.
Does anyone know where to get replacement mk3 4.2 hoses? (Not silicon) all the places I've tried only supply a kit of hoses I don't want.

Vernon,
When I needed a replacement top hose, I got a Ford right angle bend and cut it to fit, perhaps you could try something like that, otherwise, why not contact the factory to see what they use.

Regards,
Reg

Thanks reg,
I have found a set of hoses for a series 3 4.2xk engine from SNG Barrett at a reasonable price, it does not have to many unwanted hoses.
I did find individual hoses available in America, but they would have cost more than the set.
Thanks for the info.

Vernon.

What was the part No for your top hose? because I want to replace mine

Hello Neil,

The details shown on the hose are as follows:-

GATES 7033ES

You have to cut quite a lot off each end but the angle seems o.k

I got mine direct from the SS factory however I expect a Ford dealership will stock them.
Good luck,

Reg
