Noticed this whilst having a play around with alternator belts today

The pipe that goes from top of radiator has a huge bulge in it before connecting to the hard pipe on engine. Is this normal?

Cant say ive noticed it before.....

 

That dosn't look too clever! looks like it's gonna pop

 

Any ideas what could cause this?

Ill have to get replacement pipe asap

 

Just age normally, it's only rubber and age and the heating/cooliing cycles will degrade it

Just the excuse you need to upgrade to silicon hoses

 

stand back shes gonna blow ...............perished on inside that will blow on boost seen it on cozzy before
