radiator hoses?

Post by Cossie »

Just noticed one of my rad hoses (TD42 Maverick) has the early signs of a crack/split happening so I'd better replace it before it lands me in the shit!

are they available non genuine or do I have to go to nissan to have my pants pulled down?

also anyone know how much they are? :bad-words:

I had to replace a radiator hose on my old fourby and got quoted rediculouse amounts so went down to supercheap and looked for a close match amongst there stock $7.

Replaced both today - top was $13.50, bottom was $19 from Repco - bloody coolant cost more than the hoses!!

some people put the steel coil out of a falcon rad hose into the lower, to stop it sucking in.. which apparently has been an issue causing overheating.

Sorry to dredge up oldies, but I just rang Nissan to get some "trail spare" radiator hoses and I must say, I don't know where you guys got this price because even the dude on the phone just about fell over when he read them out to me.

GU 4.2TD

Top - $53.41
Bottom - $137.30 :shock: :shock: :shock:


So far the best aftermarket guote I have is $82 for both.

Still seems pretty farked for a couple a bits of rubber. :roll:
