I bought 8 Murray Constant Tension Clamps from there - expensive, and just before Haydn came up with his offer to source similar but cheaper from Oz :cry:

Bongo's in for annual service/MOT, including main hoses change to silicone using the Murrays, as I write, so I'll let peeps know how they perform - have provided the garage with Murray's torque spec., so hopefully if complied with, they'll work OK. If not, then at least there's another bottle of Haydn's UV leak tracer dye going in with the new coolant 8)

If there's any change to that with time, then of course I'll post.
