SM25T Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Local hose stockist should stock them. Note each size has quite a limited diameter range. Order carefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 There's nothing wrong with Terry clips correctly fitted, if your using silicone hoses a smear of silicone grease in the inside of the clip reduces wrinkling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJ Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) I'd suggest verifying that the sender gauge combo is reading correctly. Remove the sender from the water rail, reconnect the wire, add an earth connection to the casing and drop it in a mug of boiling water. But here's where it gets: interesting: on my car the gauge would read about right when the engine was stopped, but would head for the red as soon as the engine was started with the connected sender still in the mug (I had 2 senders to play with). I eventually traced my problem to an earthing issue between the engine (right side) and chassis. I too was concerned that the bottom radiator hose wasn't getting hot, but it turned out the car wasn't getting warm enough for the thermostat to open before I chickened out and stopped the engine!

They do look much better but people have had problems with them not sealing properly. Stick with jubilee type clips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick with jubilee type clips. Agreed, coolant seems to be able to find its way through the smallest of possible routes and Mikalor clamps have often been the cause. Good quality stainless jubilee clips seal much better especially with silicone hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
