Many thanks,

Re: Size of top hose
You can use a concertina one which gives a bit of flexibility for movement between engine and radiator, or a straight hose cut from a reel which would be cheaper but would not give this flexibility.

Re: Size of top hose
My problem is that the (branded - mentioning no names) 'ribbed' hoses sold by suppliers (as reinforced) keep splitting after a very short period of usage, so now I am sourcing a proper reinforced one locally to see if this is better.
If I am successful I will post details on here to keep anyone interested informed.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: Size of top hose
I fitted a concertina type in silicone just 3000 miles ago and its good as new, as it should be after just 3k miles I suppose.
