Cheers, I'll try replacing it with some silicone hose, in the meantime I'll stick one of my other induction kits on.

I've removed the radiator from both my ludes now and they both look a bit flaky and worse for wear tbh. They don't leak but I can't imagine they're working very efficiently with all those gaps in the heatsink. Is it worth getting a new one do you think?

Just putting the original one back in for now so I can at least move the car and close my garage door (should've thought about that earlier :facepalm:)

The rads are about £50 on ebay, so worth replacing of your look a little ropey.

I repaired my intake pipe split with a sheet of closed cell foam, cut to shape and wrapped with electrical tape, its stood well for 2 years.

Cheers for all the advice guys. I've replaced the radiator, and the top and bottom hoses, and trimmed about 1.5cm off the end of the dodgy hose under the dizzy, seems to have done the trick.
