I use a company in Isleworth middlesex called "Think Automotive", they supply silicone hoses in a universal form, i.e. various straights, bends, joiners, jubilee clips all in whatever diameter you need I know its not quite the same,but it cost me less than £100 when i fitted a front mount on my old Astra,so should give a rough (very) idea of costs

Dont have thier phone no. to hand though,sorry.

Also,they are 10mins from me so would have no idea if they do mail order

Hope that helps

The dump valve needs to be fitted at the throttle body end of the pipework. Fitting though varies depending on which dv you have. If you have or are buying new,it should come with full instructions for positioning etc

It was £250 to be exact Steve and that was because I was able to sell a core only and have the fitting kit left. The FMIC kits are £580 inc VAT, complete with fitting kit, instructions and delivered.
