Hi guys, can anyone recommend a supplier for replacement vacuum hoses for my Mk2 XR please. I've identified a couple of leaks and the old ones are pretty knackered anyway so I'm considering replacing the whole lot with silicone hoses. Is this a good idea or should I just replace with standard rubber hoses? Cheers

Roose do a kit that's shaped to fit https://roosemotorsport.co.uk/fiesta-si ... -kits.html
Or alternatively you can buy lengths of silicon off the reel and just live with using metal joints and the bends not being factory accurate but save some money :)

Vacuum pipes are generally small diameter.
I used black silicone pipe on the map sensor to megajolt and to my vacuum gauge.

Just get a good quality one that won't collapse.

Water pipes?
Do it yourself and save a fortune!
If you buy a few bends and a load of straight pipe you can do it really cheap.

Or buy bends and make it look a little neater.
Speak to Ash on eBay. They are open to bulk deals for bends.

On phone
Will explain more later.

Jason.
