Hi
you could repair it with pipe short term but id get a proper hose and replace it
if its gone once then it will go again, the pipe go hard with age and will only leak again
if it were to completely split, you risk overheating your car and damaging heads
if you replace you can forget about it
phone these there good prices and usually have them in stock

Hi Terry, it's a belt good for five year or just over 100,000 mile. My car needed work in that area and jaguar fitted new belt kit etc as good work ethics at 58,000. Its done 62,000 so happy days.

These are my 2 beauties...the one on the left i had for 5 years and gave to my son last year after his car was written off.
The one on the right I bought last year and absolutely luv it. it came with full main dealer service history and runs like a dream.
