Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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?

any spare parts place will carry them, i think they are normally round the $15 mark or something, not to deer,

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.

ok, thats nothing - Ill ring a few tomorrow and if they're that cheap I'll replace what I can of them

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

Bottom hose from nissan for a GU is $70

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.

Damn right.I asked for a quote on both hoses today and it was around $130.

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


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

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