The hose does swell when hot. The protective sleeve needs to be fixed in place otherwise it just slides down the hose again.
While I'm waiting for a new hose, I used electrical tape to secure the sleeve in place

The sleeve doesn’t stay in place because that’s not where it’s meant to sit and not what it’s meant to protect. Effort is better spent on enlargening the opening and/or adding edge protection something like I’ve done.
i think the point I was trying to make was that this was done by a DEALER under warranty and that they seem to think it is an adequate modification. Maybe I was too subtle. I definitely think it’s inadequate.Quote:

Opened the bonnet to check after reading your post. I guess I need to do something.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f70e72bf73.jpg
That’s the spot and yours has the “wide” opening also. That’s the closest point of contact areaQuote:

Kerschling. That'll be 500 quid please. Old notes left in a brown paper bag left in a nominated rubbish bin near you will do fine.
We will be in touch shortly.[wink11] [biggrin]
New genuine hose arrived Friday from Rimmer’s UK, just need to get myself some new long life coolant and will be set. (I’m also replacing the coolant outlet and flushing the entire system). I note that the sleeve on the new hose seems a bit longer.

Can anyone point me to the sequence to drain, flush and refill the coolant? Have had a google and checked here on AULRO but haven’t seen a step by step for a D4.
Thanks in advance

Here’s mine with the cover off - rubbing on the top of the hose.
