Below is a photo of the hose, it's the middle of the three hoses in the photo. You can see it was resting against the metal coolant pipe below it.

The roads are like an obstacle course these days. I just finished trawling through all that you've done to Yorkie, have to say it's one cool machine Ferg! Plus the wheels are starting to grow on me;-)

Hope to have my own S some day.

Finally got a MINI GP front bumper for my Cooper S today :)
I'll be getting it painted in a few weeks and I'll fit it myself then.
