Question Samco coolant hoses - Is this a good price?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samco-Sili...item461f0b1955

Couple of mine split due to rubber perishing so I'm going to do the lot, is this a good deal for the Samco replacements?

Anyone recommend somewhere cheaper?

Try giving merlin motorsport a call at castle coombe. Crap website but very helpful over the phone and quite cheap.
Last time I went to see them I picked up two samco throttle body hoses for less than £20

Just had a look on their site, same kit works out £20 more and a 4 week delivery wait.

Hmm, just read that eBay ad properly and there's a long wait too.

That's why I said crap website

They had everything on the shelf when I visited them despite what their website said.

You could also try advanced automotives through eBay. They're Bristol based and an official rcm supplier. They've also got kits on shelf but this time they're usually cheaper through eBay.

I'll give them a call Monday, don't have anything on eBay or their website though.

Anyone know what I would be looking at for fitting?
About 1.5 hours labour?
