We are aware of a problem with some of our silicon hose kits relating to the power steering pipes
Some of them do not have the special internal coating which is causing them to "sweat".
We will be replacing them as soon as possible.
Please PM me if you have had this problem and tell me what colour you need.
I am very sorry for any inconvenience

The price is currently under review. We are considering writing off our r&d and tooling costs earier than normal which will make them cheaper, to help stimulate sales of them.
I will make an announcement when we know for user, which should be soon.

Hi Kev
No, those are for the TTE supercharger system (boost hoses etc).
The kit we do for water and power steering etc is currently about £250 odd.

ahh, I had thought it looked cheap, when I saw it the other day.
I do remember ages ago others saying how much their coloured hoses were and they were not cheap.

Bearing in mind that mine was one of the first sets is this likely to affect me?

Quite possibly Si, The easiest way to check is to whether the pipes have discoloured.
The problem is only cosmetic but still needs to be resolved.
Please PM me if anyone has this problem.
