Suzuki Club UK

Hi all, new to this great site. I have in Malta, a 1990 SJ413 and I need to replace the radiator and the hoses.
My bottom hose is in 3 parts and with a short section of metal pipe fitted between the bottom rad 90deg hose and the remaining hose sections.
Is this the normal arrangement and/or is there a single complete rubber hose from the rad to the engine available?
Who are good reliable parts suppliers near London for these cars?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Raymond , yes mate the bottom hose is like that

Thanks Robbie, very helpful.

You can get some Sillicone Hose Kits on Ebay I think.

Tks Martin, I'll have a look. I'm also after the metal pipe between the two hoses on the bottom rad connection. Any ideas?
Cheers.

Probably going to be cheaper to go to a suzuki/maruti dealer while you are in Malta than getting one in the UK, not sure you'll find an aftermarket one and suzuki here charge loads more than they do in Malta.

Hi Raymond,

You should try NC Autoparts in Hal Ghaxaq for the hoses. My friend (courier) bought a coolant hose set for a gypsy there and I believe he has them for Samurai tii

Buy them in Malta...Aaron had to send me some and they were about £20 with post to the UK. A set here cost me £78 5 years go and they seem to be unobtainable now.
