Default Top radiator hose

I've just bought the modifield parts for my bottom intercooler hose for £41.35 inclusive of VAT. No postage as I collected t he parts direct. Its in blue to match the top silicone hose. I was wondering if it would be possible to modify the top radiator hose that I require. I understand its not just a hose that fits like the intercooler pipes?

I only needed to buy one L-Shaped hose which the long end was longer than needed. The off cut was exactly the same length as the OE short hose the other side of the coolant T-Piece. £15 well spent and given the quality on strength of the new hoses, they will outlast the car.

Do you know if this is the same hose for the CDT Rover 75. If so could you please point me to the link.
Thanks
Rob

I visited the place this week for a bottom intercooler pipe and it seems Ok - not fitted it yet though. The guy on the counter didn't have much of a clue when I asked him about the top radiator hose- He required dimensions of the pipe. Do we have the exact dimensions for a top radiator hose for a diesel CDT 75?Knowing this its probably easy, but I don't want to take it off the car to measure it! Currently I have an inline stat fitted too! The clips don't look that easy to get off either.

Please confirm the internal diameter of the top radiator hose on the CDT diesel. Is it 32mm?
