I need to replace a few hoses, and was considering going to silicone. I notice a few suppliers on eBay, but was wondering if anyone knew of a good supplier.
Also, a few of the 'kits' only seem to include the intercooler hoses - what about all the others? Do they not really need silicone? Regardless, I think I might go all out and replace all the hoses. Those that are still usable can become spares.

Was it all the hoses or just intercooler, were they all silicone, what colour, cost?

Just silcone intercooler hoses, blue cannot remember the cost. As for radiator hoses, I bought them from Karcraft and were rubber. I have a price list somewhere for Karcraft if you want a copy or you may already have a copy?

Ranga,
Just remember that all silicone hoses are not the same quality mate. Going best price rather than best quality/ reputation might be a touch dangerous...
Have a look at the gear sold by Devon4x4 in the UK and do a dummy order to get the "all in" price with delivery before you make your final choice. The Aussie dollar is strong and their shipping is reasonable.
They'll also respond to an e-mail within 24 hours.

FYI, I placed an order with them yesterday (not for hoses - got mine via Allisport) and found postage to be a touch on the $$$ side (not bad, just a little more than expected), but also found it doesn't go up that much as you add to your order.
Consequently I was 'forced' to buy three extra things just to make the postage costs seem more reasonable :D
Agree, they're pretty quick in their responses, etc.
