Bastards... How much, if you don't mind me asking?

£15 like your friend said - I paid and then the DHL driver had the cheek to say no-one was home to take delivery when he hadn't even tried to deliver it! No knock at the door or even a missed delivery card or anything. A quick phone call to DHL got that sorted though along with many apologies as the driver wasn't picking up his phone when central office rang him haha

I've had the trouble with DHL over here in France as well. Shows what a load of BS the customs fee is - you paid 15 quid for one rad, I paid 15 for two....

There's only one more short hose isn't there? And that's still available from Citroen. Cost of current kit (top, bottom and oil filter cooler hoses) is £60 posted. That's to fit most TDs - early ones have a different bottom hose I think. I could get that made but would need definite orders.

There are two: one short from thermostat to metal pipe and pipe to fuel heater/coolant distributor thing at the back. And a small hose from radiator top corner to expansion tank.

Sorry, only just seen this. The first one's easily available new as it fits a few other Cits and Peugeots, so no point making it for the moment. Never had the other one fail so didn't think of doing it, and it would probably be easy enough to replace with standard bits of hose anyway, but will ask the question if there's enough interest.

Both in my BX are in very poor condition due to long term oil therapy. But I see your point: both are quite replaceable.
