Hi, if anyone wants to sell me this hose, and can be as fast as to have it reach me by Friday morning at the latest (£10 + first class?), then please let me know. Part number 1307T3, and is item 10 on photo (manual or auto car, same part), it's on the thermostat as shown.
Alternatively, if anyone happens to know the diameter of this, I'll look at getting a universal item to fit. Although this is assuming all the lenght is same diam, which looks unlikely.

Hi,
It seems I've been sorted re. that part. I found one on mister-auto.co.uk. It's a 21 to 24mm hose. Should be with me Wedn/Thursd if all goes well. Citroen also do it, but quoted 7 working days.
Thanks
George

Just to confirm this hose arrived from mister-auto as planned, and is now fitted. Bought Monday evening, paid extra for 48hr courier, shipped next working day as promised, and was with me in Glasgow on Thursday 1pm. They come from France actually! It's helpful they actually specify, for every part, the exact (earliest) day they will ship.
On the other hand, a radiator fan switch that I also bought, was wrongly listed for my year, so will return it to them. I'll report on how that goes too.
They list quite a lot of parts for the XM. Noticed spheres starting at £16, think that's by far the lowest I've seen. Brand was equally new to me, BOLK or smthing.

Don't buy BOLK if you want good quality! Not that I know of BOLK spheres but I do know of very inferior BOLK quality in other car parts.

Interesting info. I bought two that fitted nicely, but were originally made for Rover Metro, from a local parts supplier.
