| Post subject: | Radiator Water Hose |
Does anyone know where I can get a new water hose to go from the radiator to the thermostat under the distributor? Mine has started to bulge due to oil leaking from the distributor, and I went to the garage but the hose is on back order and could be up to 3 months before it comes in. |

you could try fitting a pair of silicon hoses instead of the standard Mazda part chap. The reason the oil leaks is because the o-ring gasket in the distributor leaks, no mater how many times you replace them, in fact, the only solution 've fpound that works is a bit of silicon sealant around the o ring! The silicon lasts alot longer and won;t bulge if the dizzy does leak  CAn't remember who made my hoses ofthe top of my head, but Stu or Matt might

Thank's for the tip. I was having a look at my mum's C-max and noticed that some of the cooling pipes are metal with rubber for the bends, so I'l have a bash a doing that. |

Not a bad plan but how do you plan to fit a metal pipe over the metal fittings on the engine?

It'd have to be, but wouldn't it just be easier to go all silicon?

I plan to cut up parts of the old pipe that are ok, and use them for linking the metal parts of the pipe together and to the engine fittings. But if I find any silicon hoses then I will go for that. |

Halfords do a universal pipe for about £20 which works. Its what I did when I found I had the same problem as you. Halfords sell about 3 sizes, each only a couple of mm different. So you want to get the kid to take the mostly likely one out to the car and see if it looks about the right size. |

what do you want/need? If you are after the big rad hose then they are made "special order" you need to drop them a line - usually a 10 day wait i think

Might give em a quick call, yes rad would be replaced, just see how much they are first, nothing over £40 being bought till new year anyway so I shouldn't punish myself! |
