hose

Hi trying to get a power steering hose for the 300TE W124 cant seem to get one anywhere and im hoping maby someone knows a breakers yard or has one near Glasgow but would be willing to pay postage, thanks in advance!

I'm hoping someone can help me identify the part number for the radiator overflow hose plastic clip that fits just behind the OSF headlamp. Mine seems to have gone AWOL and the hose just hangs loose without it. You can see it in the pics below, where the hose attaches to the front panel. Thanks :

At least in summer so not too much need for a wash. Just wondered if all our ingenious members had some cunning plans. Water butts etc? BBC News - Hosepipe ban to be imposed in drought-hit parts of UK

Last night I noticed that the hose highlighted in the amber box below appears to be weeping slightly. There appears to be a seam along it's length which is slightly moist, as is the end nearest to the camera. What is it? Easy to replace?

I have an E320 Estate (year 2000) The vent direction activator on my climate control wont move the vent from screen to facia or legs... I suspect that the vacuum hose that drives the system has either holed or corroded and failed. Does anyone have any experience on this and does anyone have a...

Not a Merc, but having fitted a new water pump to the flathead Ford V8 in my Allard, the cooling hose to the radiator base from the pump is now about an inch too short. To fit a new one I need to spec a hose which will fit over a 47mm diameter flanged pipe, which then tapers to 44mm immediately...

Hi - I wonder has anyone replaced their air intake hose? I have cleaned up my engine bay but the air intake hose spoils the look. I.e, it looks a bit tatty. Are there any aftermarket silcone type hoses that i could use to replace? It it the ribbed hose at the bottom of the stock photo above...

Hi Does anyone know where the vacuum advance hose on the distributor go to/attach. It is the 280 110 engine from an 83 sl. It is attached to the distributor at the mo and is a red hose but does attach to anything, help!! Regards Rich

My BEHR radiator has an anoying weep from the top connector. Having just replaced the head gasket and then the water pump to cure water and oil leaks, I wonder if it is all linked to a change in coolant antifreeze. The connection appears to have a joint in the horizontal plane and I am wary...

How do you use a hose pipe these days? Not had one for many years, but using one would make rinsing the car easier. However modern taps seem to be a completely different shape that you cannot attach a hose pipe to, so how do you do it?

Hello all, I’m after a bit of help, I’m just about to change the brake fluid in my W123. I have read some of the posts on this site so quite happy to do the job. The thing is I have noticed the main hose that goes to the master cylinder is very age hardened and I would like to replace as...

Tried to take a pic earlier but blinking camera playing up... Basically, C180, its the hos that runs from below the themostat (looks like thermostat housing anyway) to the block. Not the one from the rad/overpressure unit to the thermostat, the one... er... after that. Its quite short. Mine...
