Hi all, does anyone know anywhere I could get coolant/heater hose from tommorow (Bedford/rushden area)? Had car mapped yesterday after long time off road having work done all perfect untill popped bonnet when home after run out and noticed coolant spilling from pipe to rear of engine below throttle body, running into car next to brake fluid reservoir. The pipe is actually touching the fmic pipe work so not sure if it has melted a bit as it doesn't look split? (too hot to take off at minute). Car is V5 type r

If you mean the pipe that plugs into the throttle body and comes out the other side you can delete that pipe.

Hi thanks for reply pipe is directly below throttle body (rear of manifold) it runs next to another pipe of same size, think it may be inlet/outlet for heater/heater matrix? Will try to add a pic. It is approx 25mm

If its just straight pipe any good motor factors will have some. Its probably 3/4 bore. But take it with you to be safe

Thanks for replying guys had pipe off now (after removing inter cooler pipe work for access) pipe has 3 bends but plenty of slack so managed to cut back to before the split. Seems the fmic pipe work was pressing very tight against where the troublesome pipe fits onto metal tube coming from rear of engine causing it to split. All adjusted now been for run out seems all good now
