Little dearer than I would have liked, but it seems like pretty good insurance.

It comes with all the fitting info Aust, but I would rekon between the water pump and the radiator would be the go , but as Pinky says I wouldnt cut a new hose to fit it let alone a silicon 1 I would think that a old hose would do the job then after 1000 or so Ks you wouldnt expect much more crap if any to be in the system if your coolant is kept in good nick . then just take it off . Anyway will do a bit more research first and get back to you all

I have been running a TEFBA cooling system filter since new in '02. I was getting machining swarf stuck in it from day 1. My Dad has been using them since they came out. So I guess it's hereditary.
