So it seems that some of my coolant hoses are taking strain... so figured it may be worth changing all of them...

Got me thinking if it is better to go with new silicone type hoses...

Thoughts / suggestions / advice welcome :D

I'm not convinced silicone hoses offer any significant improvement over standard, and Samco hoses cost silly money but there are cheaper alternatives and they don't have to be blue ...

They will last longer and withstand more pressure but for a road car id rather have an engine bay that looks like it belongs to a road car and not a 17 year old max power reader :D
