Preferably silicon. Orca > needs the lot doing along with a few grommets. I 've been looking at sFs hosing. Local Supplier has some in in Red and Blue, 4mm ID is £7.99 for the 3 metre piece they had in red. I didn't buy it but will consider it, if I can't find it else where. that was at DRB (they are part of the A1 motorstores chain) they keep it in the locked cabinet with the funky Cone filters and breather filters. > >> And the fuel gauge > >> doesn't seem to be too accurate.

Hmm, seemed I got (very) roughly arround 24mpg from Optimax, although arround 70 miles of that was running at at average of 70/80mph. the rest was mixed town/ Fast Aroad/ slow congested motorway. I think I got slightly less from Sainsburys 95ron, but it is cheaper. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
