shed hermit Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 needed a hydraulic flixi-hose for the clutch on the van so tried a couple of the local car parts shops and was told it was only available from nissan. went to the dealer thinking its a genuine part so maybe 25-30 euro (£20+) he looked it up and came back with a price of 86 euro (about £70) for a length of hose about a foot long and a connection on each end, where the f*%k do they get these prices from???

barkwindjammer Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Cant you take it to a local H-hose manufacturer, over here we have Pir-tek, can run up just about any hose-any fittings? Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shed hermit Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 tried that dont have many places here that do hoses and its mainly farm or JCB machines so he never had connections that small. made one up tonight with two small flexi-hoses and a copper brake pipe in between it will get me on the road for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkwindjammer Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 You could trade up to a JCB, they're always at the front of traffic, well, behind the bikes of course ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
