I’m after a replacement radiator expansion hose, please. Has anyone got this that I could have, please? Part/s needed are indicated in red on these two photos.
Cheers. I've just messaged them to check that this fits my Z3 2.8L 1999 Roadster.Might be this part. But you would need to check year and engine size ect

Thanks for your advice, Stephen. The hose/s on my car are ok and not leaking but my Z is in the workshop having major surgery and the guy whose business it is spotted the rubber, plastic, rubber, plastic work and wants to replace it to try to prevent my car needing more work in the not so distant future.Hi Dawn i have this same pipe on my Orinoco and its already been repaired.
I have a spare which has also been repaired.
Yours is the same patched up as the plastic part of the pipes are getting very brittle these days and prone to splitting so finding a good condition second hand one may not be that easy but you never know as they will be out there.

I’m looking on AutoDoc, too. There looks to be one at about £33 plus delivery. Delivery is a wait, though.Hi Dawn i have this same pipe on my Orinoco and its already been repaired.

Agree with you, Stephen. It looks simple to change. Am I right?If not burst then the wait not too much of an issue.
A new one would certainly be the best solution to have some guarantees on longevity.
Stephen.
Thanks, Stephen. That’s decided it then.Yes just need to be careful at radiator end that you dont snap the bit off the radiator the pipe slides onto.
Stephen.
Thank you, @Smudgemanuk
This is what I have in my basket to order (eventually) for my 1998 2.8 TU
I would still check the part number on RealOEM just to be safe
This is the part number on that the linked hose is: 11531436122
Me and I am sure many others trust Gates as a very reliable and reputable brand, you could definitely get one for cheaper but I don’t need the worry of poor quality!
