Mine has an alloy joiner about 6-8 inches long joining the hose at the plastic water rail to the hose at the radiator. Then it doesnt matter if you cant source the correct hose

Although the Corsa hose should be very similar IIRC

yeah thats great thanks, just didnt want to order corsa hose and it to be completly different, i think il have another look in the shed for my own hose before i order it

I think corsa bottom hose is perfect fit. iirc

That's because the previous owner of that engine had it bodged due to time and lazyness, still worked though

i used a tirga one it's perfect fit and used a tirga s-shape top hose.

I used my tigra hose also, was a tad too short but got it fitted and has held ever since
