Silicone coolant hoses

[M.C..]

I am changing the rad and removing my AC soon so while everything is out I thought it would be a good time to change the hoses.
Am I better reusing the Renault clips or replace them with jubilee clips?

Also does anybody know where to get some orange hoses from, I have found them on JS Performance but they are expensive £225 or a discount code for them?

I had the forge hoses on mine and they came with a set of jubilee clips. The clamps on the Renault hoses are fine for normal rubber, but I'd definitely replace them if using silicone hoses.

Thanks Mark, more expense then :smile:

It's a shame you don't want yellow or red as they seem to be a lot cheaper. Make sure you post some photos up once they're swapped over.

Red, blue or black can be had for about £50-£75 cheaper but they will not go with my car and black is a waste of time unless the rubber has perished and just replacing them.
