Hi lads and ladette's,as some of you know my car has been of the road for a while now( engines being fitted today ) but I'm missing some hoses,not sure exactly which one's,apart from they attatch to the big water pipe under the expansion tank,hope fully dylan will be on soon and can add some more information,as to what I'm missing....
""Shouts loud"" DYLAN please can you add more details please,or pics.
Dear scooby community,has any one changed their hoses for samco/coloured hoses,I'm missing a hose,the one that come's out of the header tank and connects to a black metal pipe under the inlet manifold,it's around 5 inches long....
This is all that's stopping me getting the car back on the road.
Thanks in advance.*

Does it come off the bottom of the header tank and is it a right angled bend ?
I'm not sure fella Dylan and I are in the same boat we don't have one to take a picture of unfortunately.
But if someone fancies popping their bonnet,and taking a few snaps that would be awesome.
If it's like my Bugeyes' pipe it comes off the expansion tank and heads into the head at a right angle - I have a silicone pipe here with a right angle bend in it which you could cut to size - the OD looks the same as my black rubber pipe.

From what I understand it connects to metal pipe that runs under the inlet manifold.
Any chance you could drop it of to him for me,and I will sort you out some fuel money at the next meet,or if you go to a Cardiff meet,get your meal for you.
I'll pop that pipe and other unwanted bits of pipe in a bag and drop them at his garage, if he's not there I'll leave them in the garage doorway. as I said not sure if they are the pipes you want/need but they may do the trick. Sometime tomorrow morning I can get to Dylans...
or if Dylan is passing my place to/from work I can leave outside my frontdoor

No probs Dylan - no joy yet but seeing a Twingo on Tues now, so see what that will bring ! Insurance will be a minefield I know !! I'll prob look more when she (if) passes
Pipes dropped off with Dylan earlier Mate - hopefully he can sort something for you with them - all the best - Si.
Cheers Si,thanks for that i owe you one fella,Not sure if they fit or not,
I haven't heard from Dylan yet,hopefully he's shouting and swearing at my car in the garage,lol

Right then,cars up and running,just my front calipers have seized,so I'm looking for a pair of 2 pot sliding calipers,if anyone has some sitting around doing nothing.
Either to buy or borrow untill I can't get mine overhauled.
As I need to get it mot'd ASAP now,and obviously need brakes....
try godspeed brakes ceri 2day turn around on refurbing calipers where you been hiding havent seen you around in ages
Yeah been looking at that,but need to get them done ASAP,and can't get to the car now untill Friday,I ideally need something to bolt on,so I can get my car out of the guys garage,as he wants to get his back in the garage,so he can start creating a monster.....
Car not been on the road for 3 years,so I've been keeping a low profile,lol
CAUTION coming to a meet near you soon lol
