Any reputable auto parts store. If they're not in stock they can be ordered in.

just looking for the same for my MB...

The hatch top hose isn't long enough to reach the radiator (20mm to short)
The bottom hose for a hatch is the same as the MB so that was fine.
The rear hose (manual gear-box) is just a straight piece cut to length

Where have people found a MB top hose?????

I have also had some problems with the heater hoses....geniune suzuki seems to be the only option, but rather expensive!!! (just for hoses)

Before i go down to local shop and compare shapes/bends off other car's heater hoses does anyone know what car has the same bends just wrong length, which then can be cut down to fit the MB???

might be worth putting that info into the parts list made by toranaGuy???

The radiator hoses i got from auto 1... they had no problems getting them.
I had to go genuine for the heater hoses, we couldn't find a listing on the mightyboy for them so i just grabbed some fom suzuki direct.
Yes, farkin' expensive but i just wanted my F8B in. :wink:

Top & bottom hoses are still avail. genuine. I priced a bottom hose at Caloundra City Motors at about $40.00 before tax. I was able to work the heater hoses out of Mackay ZHB/UHB part No.s & also a cut down Camry hose.
I had to sort through 36 boxes of hoses at Maleny Auto Spares to find matches to the originals - :roll: how I wish I had written down the part numbers :x .
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
