Quick Advice
« on: 29 June 2014, 13:48 »
Hi Folks,

Just found a breather split from the lower pcv hose which runs up into the tip.

Question is, can I use a bit of silicone hose to join the connection as a temp measure. The hose I have is half the diameter though? Hoping it should be ok for 200 miles or so.

Leaving to go to blackpool tomorrow morning so I can get a new one until I get back.

Thanks
Liam

a Pic would be useful?

the diameter of the standard piping being more is usually due to the the wall thickness, I have replaced pretty much all my original piping with silicone
