c7jhc Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I see that Classic Silicone Hoses have two sets of Silicone hoses for a K series - standard heater and Clayton heater. How do I ascertain which I need? I have a 2005 Roadsport 1.8 140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 My October 2002 car has the Clayton heater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 26, 2013 Member Share Posted July 26, 2013 Have you asked the company how to tell? They were very easy to communicate with when they were originally developing the Caterham set. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c7jhc Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have sent an email - I'll see what they say. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham D Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Is it only me, or does anyone else think £198 is a bit steep? Time to get creative maybe? Edit - Having looked at the prices on Caterham's site it's not as bad as I first thought. Edited by - Graham D on 26 Jul 2013 20:59:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 27, 2013 Member Share Posted July 27, 2013 I also wrote to the company and asked about the differences and how they could use their website to help select the correct one. Just got an answer: they're at Silverstone this weekend and will look at it on Monday. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 27, 2013 Member Share Posted July 27, 2013 When I bought mine a few years ago they were the cheapest if you included the heater hoses and clamps. (In the end I reused the original clamps.) Silicone hoses seem to be a component where buyers are happy with all the suppliers. Lots on this in the archives.

c7jhc Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 I haven't had any response as yet - if they're at Silverstone that would explain why. Hopefully I'll get a reply next week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ford Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I also have found Classic Silicone Hoses easy to communicate with and very helpful. They recently manufactured a complete set of hoses for my HPC 2.0 VXE 16v (45s & heater) using my original hoses as patterns (with some modifications to make the layout neater). All the hoses fitted perfectly with no leaks whatsoever. *thumbup* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
