V6 coolant hose rubbing.

Doing my under bonnet checks today and noticed that one of the elbow shape hoses is rubbing against the front cambelt cover. The mark is minimal at the moment, so I propose to wrap some old inner tube between them with a couple of cable ties for peace of mind rather than disturbing the hoses and clips.

Good plan. I usually keep a piece of old hose around in case I need to do the same.
