Parts help (Upper Radiator Hose)

[drez]

Hi folks,

Need to replace my radiator hose, its start leaking !!

Went to Mitsu dealer Campbelfield for parts:
Upper Radiator Hose . . . . . . . . . . MR212528 . . . . $23.76

They cross check with the Jap catalogue, parts number are Correct.
BUT they could Not order it, or it does Not exists.

They said maybe the parts has no been order before, end of line is that they could not order it. I've ordered parts from there couple times before with no problems.

Can anyone help with where can i get this part from?
or maybe someone replace their radiator hose before?

thnks guys

thanks heaps guys, thats lot of options to choose now.

if you're buying silicon radiator hoses, buy the ones from X3E.. they're known for quality..

the ones from ebay are still unknown, I know Irwin (Gorgath) bought a set from ebay and had to get a replacement as his top hose burst out on him..

Yep yep, talkin about made in Japan my ass!!! I now have x3e's silicone hoses and to tell yah, it has more thickness than the JC-Projects.

haha so funny, mine blew yesterday as well...
i removed the hose and went to Repco...
the closest they found was from a Toyota landcruiser (i think it was a landcruiser 100 but not 100% sure), it was practically the same, just a lil longer on each end...
i cut it, and it fits ok, and it only cost me $13.

So there u go... lol.

+1 for Ivans silicon hoses. Fast delivery, well priced and great quality.
