I need new intercooler hoses. Do these look like a decent option Land Rover Defender 300 TDI Turbo Intercooler Silicone Hose KIT Black | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300454887183?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) ?

Also, thinking of going with these t-clamps T-BOLT STAINLESS STEEL HOSE CLAMP CLIP 59-63 OD FITS 51mm ID HOSE | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T-BOLT-STAINLESS-STEEL-HOSE-CLAMP-CLIP-59-63-OD-FITS-51mm-ID-HOSE-/121290740122?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c3d7dd19a) unless I can find them cheaper or closer.

Personally I would buy quality rated hoses they may be a little more on the expensive side but they will last......:D:D

I bought some samco xdb hoses. They are a thing of beauty and will probably outlast me and the 110. Heavy duty!

I do like that idea - it would make replacing hoses much easier - simple straight sections or 90 degree elbow which aren't specific to a 300tdi. I wonder if my mate could bend me up the pipe... anywhere in Oz that does them?
