IS that for a whole set?

If not then try these guys Silicone Hose Couplers

I have no association with this vendor.

I have delt with Allisport in the past an they are excellent. However, I'd imagine there are Oz suppliers that can help also.

Cheers,

I too have allisport set of silicon hoses on both my Defenders. love them and they are great

Got then from the uk and they will take of the VAT ( uk gst ) and remember that is at 20% in the at the moment

Dave are the Disco ones the same as the Defender ones? If you dont still need thme I'd be interested.

As far as getting from O/S freight quotes seem to be GBP35-46 ! Ouch again.

Havent tried it before but I believe that they are near enough to work.

yeah MR auto at $175 as opposed to buying them from overseas at about $90-100 for the 3 then paying $60-70 in shipping. (if you want them fast.) (and the ebay ones are about 2 thirds the last list price I have for them.)

I'll have a dig about for them.

I'm going o take off and check these hoses on the weekend.
Even if they seem Ok I may replace them so at least I can be sure theya re not a factor.

IF they are OK, what else could be causeing my symptoms.

When cold (especially) and on hills - absolute bugger all power, often stall it just trying to get up the driveway !

Once going on teh freeway etc it sees not too bad but around town at lights etc take-off is often "subdued".

I'm hoping it's the hoses as that will be easiest / cheapest to fix.
Need to get this sorted as am planning a Fraser trip and need a semblance of power for the sand !

Have you noticed if you're blowing grey/oil smoke when the engine is coldish? It normally happens on overrun or when you back off to change gears. I have this problem at the moment. My guess is that either the crankcase breather or the turbo are leaking oil into the inlet tract and it's collecting in the bottom of the intercooler when the vehicle isn't being used.
