Exclamation Urgent Help Kent

Anyone know of anywhere in Kent or within a couple of hours drive I can buy SIlicone Hose on a Sunday - I'm due at the track 7am Monday and am in desperate need of either a radiator top hose or some silicone hose to replace..... any suggestions appreciated - Alternatively anyone know of a reliable method for repairing cracks in a hose (needs to last one day only)

Vaguely on topic, there's a place in Harlow called xtreme motors, the usual sort of Barry Boy Racer place and I have been trying to find their web site to see if they stock anything applicable.

Using yahoo to search for xtreme, apparently there is an xtreme line dancing web page. Of absolutely no use to you whatsoever, its just that I couldnt picture what xtreme line dancing would look like.

Found this if it helps, they say they have hose kits and are open Sundays
http://www.elook.co.uk/ .About 35 minutes from Dartford tunnel.

Was a 1, now 1 of 150 in a 40

Would you believe that Halford sell flexible radiator hoses that can be cut to size and made to fit... if you're desperate it's worth a shot!!

The tip came from last weeks Telegeraph Motoring.... "Go to Halfords and buy an appropriate length of universal flexible radiator hose of the right diameter"

Hope this helps!

Dinger Thanks - I'm off there now - wasn't sure if they opened on a Sunday - only other place I can try is the one in Paddock Wood
