Afternoon ppl

I`m after a little advise on where to purchase a top rad hose for my Bugeye WRX 2002 ?

Just to let you know what happened as i`m so unlucky/lucky its untrue. We had landed at Newcastle airport with misses and x2 kids (7months and 3yrs) at 2.30am this morn having had to wait an extra hour at the airport due to delays in Lanzarote so not a good start to the journey home...... We pack car up an d leave at about 3.15am and set off home tired as hell so was sharing the driving with the good lady, I pulled in at Scotch Corner services and steam or what I thought was smoke it the time coming from under the bonet. What had happened was that a few weeks ago the rad went and when the top hose was refitted its been rubbing the pulley on the alternator and worn a hole in it....... Luck/unlucky at same time I recon but unable to do any type of bodge job we had to call out the AA. We got in after having to waot hrs at just gone 8.30am, what a way to end your hol in the sun eh ??

So as above do any of you guys/girls know a reasonably price place for hoses ?

Used those guys myself for my caliper rebuild kits, quick and good value for money.

Cheers Guys I appreciate that. I now need to get fitted does anyone know if I have to drain the rad first or can I just take the old one off and put new one on and top up coolant ?

Cheers

Just take the old one off and place a bowl under your car,you will lose some fluid but not a major amount.Then put your new hose on and top up your coolant.
