Sorry to hear that the hose let you down Tony, A similar thing happend to me only the other week. I never knew about a 'q' clip being missing from my largest coolant hose that snakes its way around the air-con compressor and into the water pump. My original hose shifted and was chainsawed by the aircon belt. Gaydon was certainly different than other years. It was Super Ranualt/DMC Sunday and Chris Parnham bought Backy and somehow the Hill Valley lightning storm. I heard on the news last night that more than 20 people were struck by lightning and one person from Birmingham died. Good to see such a good turn out. Regards Chris Hawes vin 5255
