Lower skinny steel cooling hoses for ZT / 75 available
Starting this as a new thread,feel like we are going over old ground and banging head against brick walls springs to mind,but here we go,one last time.
We have available,with a minimum of 10 orders at £65 plus P+P the lower metal cooling hoses for all V6 petrol engined 75"s and ZT"s The pipes we have on offer are to replace part number PFV000090 which when last available retailed at £52.84.These are for cars from 2001,VIN 235721 onwards. There are basically 2 types,we call them fat and skinny,the above are the skinny type. The fat pipes are part number PCP102531.These are for cars upto 2001,upto VIN 235720.When these were last available they retailed at £125.52. All the above pipes are no longer available To reiterate,this is only for the later skinny type part number PFV000090 The pipes run across the front subframe right by the radiator. MG Rovers mistake was to make them from mild steel and they are now at an age where corrosion is causing them to leak. Every V6 owner should take the belly pan off and check these pipes if they intend to keep there car for a few years yet.You will probably find they"re on there last legs. If this chance to have them made up goes then thats it. We have literally a few weeks to get the minimum order of 10 as the manufacturer is slowly running out of patience and he will shelve the project due to lack of interest. If you are genuinely interested and can commit to buying then please reply to this stating that you want a set. Please can we keep this post for people who need a set.Any questions you have can be found in previous posts to which there have been many.These can be found doing a search in the search box. Lates is the guy whos been working hard to get this project off the ground due to the amount of people asking him for sets of these pipes.For some reason now we only have 2 confirmed orders. Time is of the essence now and its running out fast. Many thanks |

Hi Dale,
Can you put me down for a set of these please. But may I ask a couple of questions, ahh ok thanks In the picture of the sample post #20, the ends of the pipes don't have any flareing, will this be added to the final offering or will the connections be secure without. Also what of the sample Lates has sent to GerryT, would hate to buy this one and Gerry comes up with a set in stainless. Cheers

Hi Bob
The flaring will be on the pipes,that pic is the first one sent back to see if it is satisfactory for what we need. As far as im aware the Gerry project came up as a no no.Lates is the guy who can confirm that. Any orders can be placed with lates or i can pass them on as im passionate about this not only because i want one myself,but the effort lates has put into this and i"d hate to see it fail Regards Dale Last edited by courier118; 11th December 2011 at 09:31.. |

I'l leave it up to you, if you want to pass it on would be grateful.
I have been after one for ages, second hand ones I have found were all well rusted. The one on the car seems ok at the moment but better safe than sorry. Can't believe more v6 owners haven't taken this up, unless being so near christmas is a factor. Agree if it falls through after all the effort Lates will be gutted. Cheers

With regards to the later type, which Lates have now on offer, I never did receive any offers from members to lend me a set for valuation so I could not pursue the matter further. My own recommendation is that any one who thinks they may need this type ( small ) of pipe's order them from Lates now because unless he can sell 10 then none of theses will be made. Gerry3 |
