Hi Wayne

I have posted a item on the forum and had replays

My question , is it posable to replace the small hose from the water pump with out haveing to take the pump out , I have a small leack following a independent replacing the thermostat head , I appreciate they should not have touched the hose , I am going to try and tighten the jubilee clips first .

My hose doies look to be tired I am planing to change the pump in the summer but wish to hold off untill then .
I have seen a english site were a guy said it is posable if you use a lubricent on the hose to get it in .
By the way this is a great site
