Hey folks,

Bit of advice needed. I have a weeping braided coolant hose on my 82 Alfetta GTV 2.0. Is this a special part or can I buy one anywhere. Also, it has no clips, what stops it coming off??

Thanks for that, its the one from the top of the radiator to the expansion tank. Just push fitted on but the previous owner has used a zip tie on one end for some reason. Will go get that heater hose!!

Thanks again,

Tim

Went to my local motor factors and found the right bit of hose - installed real easy and fastened with jubilee clips. Thanks for the advice and patience with my learning curve.
