has anyone had any problems with new hses supplied on ebay by british-car-spares...?????

i have just purchased a set for my car and fitted them today and the waterpump housing/bottom rad hoses are too short so i have had to refit my original hoses now.....

not had any from there, but make sure you do not get Kevlar hoses as they are not properly reinforced

I had the same problem with some hoses from rimmers. I then got a set from SOC spares, which fitted perfectly. To be fair rimmers did say they would refund me, this was a couple of years ago and I still haven't got round to sending them back.

British-Car-Spares on ebay is SOC Spares. I would contact them and query because they are not known for selling dodgy bits. On the contrary, they sell quality parts and supply many of the other Stag suppliers. The hoses they sell should be the SOCTFL ones, so if there is a problem it needs sorting out.

i have contacted them about the 2 hoses and they are going to sort something out regarding this matter,
i ahve fitted the rest of the pipes and they are okay,
i have had to re-fit my old hoses for the moment tho,,,,,,
