R.R.C Radiator hose's

I blew a top radiator hose yesterday on my 1989 R.R Classic, 3.5 EFI.

Due to the way it burst (split) I'm gonna replace all the rubber wear.

Called Repco for price and availability.

They had no listing for my particular model/year but had listings for earlier carbed models and the later 3.9's.

Went to Supercheap Auto and had a flick through their catalogue. Same deal.

I figure that the hose's must be common between all the 3.5 litre engines??



So for future reference, which hose's from which year/model will fit the 1989 RRC 3.5efi ??

Help :D

No takers??

These are the hoses in question:

Are they same for the 3.5 through all years of manfacture??

Or did they change for the EFI models??

Look similar to my rrc carbie'd 3.5 if you doing all the hose make sure you get the heater hoses at the back of the intake manifold that go into inlets in the firewall. i got my hoses from a mob in brisbane by the name of greg tunstall mechanical. bit steep on the price but had them in stock and were an exact fit. otherwise you can pick up kits on ebay or email landrover stockists and see if they post.

Forget Repco.

Call Karcraft or any number of other Land Rover parts places. Postage is cheap.
