Firstly, are there any particular hints or tips on fitting these?
Got a kit today (TCS87c) today for my 99 car. Having looked at the engine bay and the pipes, I can't work out where two of the hoses go..........
looking at the Graham Goode site, they are called "Breather pipes" anyone know where they are supposed to go?
Cheers
Matt

ninja, was the one that didn't fit the straight piece? Graham Goode say it is the "washer bottle hose" - http://www.grahamgoode.com/cgi-bin/p...page=hoses.htm not sure if that is correct as it is dark, and only looked at this site recently

the 2 large bore curved hoses are radiator top and bottom
the 2 thin one run to the top of the header tank
the others didnt seem to fit anywhere
washer tank doesnt have one
overflow tank is thinner
and header tank to engine is different
other hose is for header tank to turbo

Tony, yeah I have that one - sorry I think it was what I thought No1 was in my pic. That's the trouble with doing this from memory. Have you got them on your car?

Ninja, here is a real dodgy pic of my engine, and the placing of the 6 I can manage (sorry about the quality of my arrows). The two numbered ones can't be seen, No1 is just under the pipes there and to the side of the intercooler and No2 is down at the bottom of the radiator. I think!
Were they easy enough to fit when you did yours, do you just take the old ones off and replace with the new ones? Any coolant to worry about?
