Decent coolant hose in the UK

Jonny:
Looks like he has the Locline, i have three with the taps which dont leak same with the clip on and off multiple joints after 11 years.

Rikk:
Cheers, I'll have a look at those loc-line ones, they look exactly the same as the chinese ones but going by the price I hope they are a LOT better 8)

I wrote this reply the other night but the site went down when I went to post it. :doh:

I have read that you us boiling water to dismantle and put these hoses together to soften them. It might be worth trying to soak it in a saucepan of boiling water and the links might form around the balls better to make them seal, it would be worth a try and cost nothing.

I have one that came with my coolant tank and it doesn't leak at all, but it is a different set up as it came with a steel tank and fuel type hose to connect it from the tank.

The problem with a lot of the cheap posable hoses is they are rough injection mouldings and the parting line goes through the joint and thats what makes them leak.
