thinking of getting a set of these, probably hill power in blue but wondered if anyone knows if they replace all the coolents etc, especially the one lower done in the engine as that one looks a bit scabby. cheers. oh anyone know how much??

There is three sets, the coolent one, ancilliary or smt and oil hoses. if you look at the pictures of the coolent ones then u can see which hose's are which. if you mean the one that go's from the rad to the ngine below the airbox then i think that is replaced yea, as mine has split recently and im going to be getting the same set of hoses :)

The two bigger hoses connect to the radiator, whereas all the rest just replace most of the other hoses. They don't replace all pipes (a few little vacuum hoses are missing) but do the job nicely.

Wouldn't like to try and fit them all with the engine in the car, but I'm sure its possible...only just!

Here's my set....

I have got all 3 sets in blue on my Hybrid, only cost me £117 off of fleabay brand new and the RRP is £370+ iirc
I had to fit mine with the engine in place and it was a bit of a pig even with the radiator taken out grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.................
So worth it now thou, looks minter then a mint thing.

I will be replacing all the vacume hoses too eventually and getting a blue silicone 45o reducing elbow for my viper and adptor.

Yeah, i think mine cost me the best part of 400 notes.

from memory the two large ones are close to 100 each, with the 2 further ancillary kits almost the same too.

Worth every penny though.
