She's passed another MOT
But I have a split hose.
It's big rubber inlet one to the right of the rocker cover, about 100mm long. I don't know what it's called! Has anyone got one?
Also a slight coolant leak on a two year old 5000 miles radiator, apparently its the plastic to metal construction. Has anyone else had this issue, my mech says he says its common these days. Really?

On a 20vt, right? There's a short / straight / large diameter (70mm?) one between the "hard pipe" inlet (that bolts to the head itself, and connects underneath to the dump valve) and the inlet control valve, but from memory it's not 100mm long, more like 60mm? The other one to the right of the rocker cover is at the front of the engine but is not straight. There's also a smaller diameter hose for oil vapour recirculation that connects to the rocker cover, this hose tends to go very hard and split, but is no longer available new so a good used example will be needed, or you may be able to cut off the end that is split and make do with a slightly shorter hose. The other larger inlet hose could easily be replaced by a short length of straight silicon hose for example.

Yeah sorry 20vt. Its the first one you describe,does anyone know where I can get one?
I guess JBT would be the boy but I havn't been in contact with him for ages as I stopped the facebook thing.
I could phone him tomorrow I suppose.
This is what happens when you havn't needed to get parts for ages!

I have one currently on eBay as a 'fiat coupe 20vt intake pipe'
Or 'fiat coupe throttle body intake hose' as I'm not sure which one you're after

No it's the rubber bit that connects it to the next inlet bit.
