They are the heater hoses that come off the back of the block and go through the firewall to the heater matrix. You cant see them when the engine is in so not a big deal IMO. If you need to replace these hoses anyway you local motorfactor will sell you a length of 19mm hose

ah ha! I did suspect that they were the ones from the Prelude Workshop Manual I was flicking through, but wanted to double check - thanks for that mate

yeh the hoses are quite easy to find, I swapped a coolant hose of mine a year ago after it leaked & started steaming everywhere, but the scrappy had a lude with a good hose in it luckily

I looked on the uk and us samco site and they only list the 2 rad hoses.

That's because they are replica hoses
I've just spoken to the seller and asked for a refund
He says there good quality but I'm not one for imitations

ffs thats not good - selling fakes is totally unaceptable

While advertising real as fake is not good, I still think for a complete hose set (fakes or not) it is still not a bad price for what you get. After all its probably a generic hose and not much different, if at all, from what a motor factor would sell you.

That kit has all of the smaller hoses that would be a pain in the arse to find the right shape.

Yes, the price is good, but have anyone considered buying OEM hoses?

I don't like blue, I wanted black ones, and I also wanted to change them all after having a steam cloud from under the hood. First - I put just regular high pressure hose (except two radiator ones), but it wasn't easy to bend them, because of that they didn't fit tidy and beautiful. So after 1 or 2 years of searching for pre-bent replacement, I ordered OEM from Honda dealer. Don't know dealer prices in UK, but whole set cost me ~60 £. And I just love OEM parts

Fitment is good but im really disappointed that they are fake hoses

I didnt fit them cause i´ve pulled out the Engine to replace all the gaskets.
But now i dont know if i install them i´ve put a lot of Euros to rebuild the car over the Winter and dont want to risk my engine
