Car is 12 years old now I've decided It's time for a new radiator I'll stick to the OEM one but I'm undecided if I should get Mishimoto silicone hoses vs rubber OEM hoses price is more or less the same give or take a few £ when the Mishi are on sale....any advice?

Also I'll do new radiator,new outlet and inlet hoses, new clamps and new radiator caps.....anything else I should replace any other hoses while I'm at it ? (The thermosat is new, swapped it last time I changed the coolant).

P.S: I wouldn't mind the +10 bhp boost that comes form the red silicone hoses... )

My personal opinion is OEM. My OEM ones lasted 17-18 years, and in all honesty they could have kept on going, but I changed them just because I thought it was time.

they do not look bling, however... in fact, one could say the standard stuff is downright ugly

Thanks! I'll prob go OEM then.

New aircon rad also given it sits in front of the coolant rad so likely to be blocked with debris also. can pick up a nissens one for approx £80 delivered
