All accounts they are supposed to be the duck`s gut`s as are the intercooler hose`s but have never heard any real life review`s

I've replaced the whole lot of coolant hoses on mine few years ago when the rubber ones were in bad shape... IMO silicone hoses are much better, i paid a fortune for them then from a UK based company called Roose motorsport but now they are available on ebay for decent price, e.g DIRENZA LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 II 2.5 TD5 99-04 SILICONE RADIATOR & OIL COOLER HOSE KIT , i'm calling that "decent" cos i paid twice as much for mines but unfortunately at that time these were not on the market... though i dont regret it cos they worth every penny IMO

A couple of options on evil bay like this one
