Hello
I have a 1999 S Type 3.0 V6
She's a bit tired in some areas, and could do with some time and money spent on repairing the paint and front seats, but I love the old girl. It cost me next to nothing to purchase, and in the six years I've owned her, she only incurred general maintenance costs and has proven to be quite reliable.
However I do need to replace the radiator hoses as the service records indicate that only the top radiator hose has been replaced. I don't believe any of the other hoses have been touched since she was manufactured.
I have a new lower radiator hose but it's the ones in-between I am having trouble sourcing. While I have the cooling system apart (yeah, I pulled it apart ahead of securing all the hardware I need to put it back together, acts as an incentive), I will also replace the water pump and heater solenoids.
I have some part numbers off from the existing hoses, but struggle to find a way to cross reference to other manufacturers data.
My questions are:
1) Does anyone know where I can get a comprehensive list of part numbers for the hoses?
2) Can anyone recommend a supplier either domestic (NZ) or international who might be able to help in the supply of hoses?
If anyone has been down this track before I'd be interested in your opinions and/or recommendations.
Thanks in advance
Have a great day
Terry
