Three of my water pipes in my TR have just exploded. One is coming off the waterpump and looks braided, the other one is braided but i forgot where it is, the other one is thicker and not braided, where can I get these hoses?? super cheap only have the main radiator ones, but i dont need them!

Do i Have to go to a dealer?

Try Clark Rubber? They have reels of high pressure and high temp automotive hoses that you can buy by the metre.

Most parts places will have the hose you need in a length. Do you have a 4 or a six, the hose will most likely be just a length cut down. Also try purple pig if you have no luck with clark rubber.

oi man i just had the xact same problem about 2 weeks ago and replaced my hoses, the same 3 ur talking about, a bitch ey. but i got mine from mitsu in midland and it only ended up costing me about 15$ for all 3....pretty cheap i reckon, they dont charge anything over the top for hose parts, and there the proper moulded ones.......

check that the head gasket isn't blown, if it's letting pressure from the cylinders into a water jacke, that would cause you water pipes to blow!!

most likely and more to the point hopefully it is just age.
I recently replaced every rubber hose in Lethals engine bay,
If you have a head gasket problem you will have milky oil as well as when the engine is off the coolant will run the other way into the sump.
