Thanks Storming About. :D :D
Silcone hoses need clips with a rounded edge...

The ones they sell are the corect ones.

Normal clips will cut in & fek the hoses up. cheaper yes but then you'll need to replace the hoses again so hardly a bargain...

Thanks will get the correct clip set have you used these hoses? The other hose suppliers are little out of my wallet range.

As I understand it Samco hoses are better quality, and more expensive I know. However it is one of those jobs you only want to be doing very very occasionally, so I felt it worth mentioning this option.

Yep Samco are the ones out of my price bracket. Defo giving the cheap import ones a miss.
