Hose split tools from snap on they look like screwdrivers but have a point on the end. Much easier to get pipes off with no damage especially if you want to re use.
Nice video. I'm in the process of swapping my coolant hoses as well as part of a larger engine replacement project. Getting the hose onto the thermostat housing will not be easy. haha. I like how you've shown the paths that they all follow as well since I've had hoses removed for quite some time.
Hi , a double high 5 for this , oh for the days of only 5 hoses and that included the heater . Life has just got more complicated over the years ?🤔 👍👍👍
Thanks for this videos i maybe buying one and there's no mechanic that works on this cars in my country so if i end up buying one this videos are gonna be so helpful
Hi, thanks for the video, I am just about to do my own hoses, I have the kit from Stoney Racing, I ordered the spring clamp kit but am thinking I should have gone for the worm drive instead, with limited access in so many locations,"cèst la vie".
Fantastic job. Thinking of doing mine soon. I would have liked them in red but they only have the white available currently. How are they looking now they have been on a few months?
Definitely wait for red or blue. White does show up the road grime quickly. They do wipe clean with degreaser and a paper towel quickly but I would rather not have to !
@@andrewsparey697 my concern with the white was that they may end up an off white colour that won’t clean up. They are offering a discount on the white as they only have 3 sets left. I will check to see if they are planning on making more in the other colours, if not I’ll get the white.
I cant remember. One of the small ones off the engine does have a metal pipe inside to act as a connection. If none of your pipes have a metal connector, then it is missing
For hose 6, if you could find some way of cutting through the retaining clip say with a dremel, do you think it would be possible to fit the new hose and clip without removing the intake manifold?
Nope. Dremels are themselves bulky, and space is limited. I wasted a couple days dreaming up ways to avoid intake removal and i found it to be unavoidable
It took many hours, probably 15. If you throw away the hose trapped under the fuel tank and the hose trapped under the air intake manifold, that would cut the job by more than half. And i did not have a video guide. You could probably do 25/27 hoses with this video in 5-6 hours
@@andrewsparey697 Thanks, the stoney racing guide says certain coolants can attack the silicone so wanted to make sure I picked the correct one. Are there any hoses you can replace without having to drain the coolant first? I want to try and get a few boxed off if possible before changing the coolant when the weather is better.
Hello Andrew, I'm looking to buy a set of "Stoney racing" hoses for my R53 MINI and I'm curious as to the quality of the product. Do the hoses feel high quality? how was the fit during installation? have you developed any leeks or cracked hoses? any info. is appreciated.
I admire both your extraordinary effort and your calm explanations. Way beyond my capabilities.
Thank you! All shot on an iPhone 6, clips are edited and stitched together with imovie on the phone. You can do it 👌🏻
Nice work Andrew good you see you remembered what you learnt back in our old repco days.

Thank you boss. I blew two hoses and decided the lot needed to go
Nice job Andrew, refreshes the engine bay up a lot. I need address these on mine at some point in the near future. Thanks for the guide 👍🏽
Thanks Kapil. Some tough hoses to replace but i was determined to finish the whole bag
Thanks for this videos i maybe buying one and there's no mechanic that works on this cars in my country so if i end up buying one this videos are gonna be so helpful
Great video. Keep doing what you do.
This is an absolutely brilliant video, must have taken ages!
Well spotted - took 10 weeks , avoiding the rain as my car is outside
Wish they had them in yellow to match my car 😁😁

Very good video. Thanks for taking the time. Where did you get the silver headers?
Excellent job I love hoy you discover the car
Awesome video. Keep them coming
Hey, how do pieces 1and5 connect? It just appears to be two pipe ends butted against each other
A metal connection pipe

@@stevepowell1938 the white does stay white. Its been several months and no indication of turning yellow like a 1990s pc keyboard
Hello, me again - for hose 5 - does it have a metal insert so it can connect to hose 1? Mine doesn't appear to have one.
I cant remember. One of the small ones off the engine does have a metal pipe inside to act as a connection. If none of your pipes have a metal connector, then it is missing
Thanks Andrew, I've contacted stoney racing to ask if they can send the insert out.
Excellent work, can you share the link where to buy?

would you say that the Stoney Racing hoses are high quality? Also, How have these hoses held up over the years :)?
The quality is fine - don’t get white though, they get dirty quickly
@andrewsparey697 thanks so much for the response! I guess I’ll be giving these a shot!

@@andrewsparey697 Yeah I thought the space looked a bit small for a dremel. Nevermind was worth a shot.
Great vid again
What were issues with regards to liquids in the pipes, are they all just cooling and air pipe's?
They were mainly water pipes and a few air pipes. No brake or fuel pipes. No issues with draining or refilling of coolant
Great video, how long did it take you, do you advise for a noob to do this at home?
It took many hours, probably 15. If you throw away the hose trapped under the fuel tank and the hose trapped under the air intake manifold, that would cut the job by more than half. And i did not have a video guide. You could probably do 25/27 hoses with this video in 5-6 hours
Oh and the thermostat hose. Dont do that as it needs starter motor removal
Hello, top video and thanks for the discount code. What coolant did you use to refill the system please?
The cheapest 5L bottle on ebay! Mixed with 5L of distilled water, car has a 10L capacity

@@OochPinnock they all contain coolant, even the smallest ones in the top of the engines head

All good. No problem. Feel fine , durable and no leaks. Some yellowing where hoses come close to exhaust though, so be aware if buying white
@@andrewsparey697 Awesome... Thnks for the feed back, I'ma get them in blue!
P.s. great video matey.
RHD only...
Meh.
I don’t think it would make a lot of difference. The polarity of the 1ZZ is the same in both JDM and North American models.
@@andrewsparey697 Are you sure? I think due to the position of the steering column some hose routing is mirrored.
OMG, where do you park your car, in the ocean. My god man the rust is terrible.
The car is from the far north of England, and kept outside its whole life.
