I fitted some new hoses a few months ago and now the bottom hose clip is catching on the alternator fins and making an almighty racket and obviously not drive-able. I checked the set up with a another local Stag (thnx Maurice) and it looks like the hose needs to be shorter at the rad connection to pull the catching connection away from the alternator. So my questions.......
Is the bottom hose designed to fit one way only or does everyone have to slice a few mm's off ?
I cannot see anyway to move the alternator back, is that correct ?
Is there any adjustment I can make to the metal pipe the bottom hose attaches to ?
I'm in the process of removing the bottom hose now and draining the system (going to run a flush through it) but I'm finding removing the bottom hose really, really difficult because of access - how do the professionals do it ?
