Superwhite R283 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 This is my first post I've recently bought a Roadsport 125, 1.6 k 2007, and noticed the top radiator hose is badly perished, well they all are, so I'm hoping to get on the bulk buy for silicone ones, but my top hose is actually letting coolant seep through so I need to fix it asap, I was after a cheap temp fit, I thought of tape but its too long for that so was hoping someone might of replaced there’s with silicone and assuming the old one was ok I was after borrowing it, unless anyone has any other temp fixes?

charlie_pank Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Replacing them is only a matter of draining the coolant, undoing some jubilee clips and refilling. Why bother with a temporary fix - those Ks don't like to run without full coolant y'know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superwhite R283 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 I've had a better look and the hose coming of the expiation tank is also seeping a little, which defiantly means I can’t risk using it Johnv, do you have just to top hose or any others, if you do and if your around tonight I would be very appreciative if I could pop up and borrow them .I have called every stockist of silicone ones (that I can find) and 4 weeks is the quickest anyone can do.
