HI,
Can anyone help me with a part number for my MG TF 160, and or a parts supplier for the coolant hose which is attached to the underside of the header tank bottle, which from what I can see then attaches to the oil cooler it has a plastic T' peace with two short hoses one of which goes to the oil cooler.

Any help be much appreciated.
Regards
Mike.

Welcome

What age is the TF as later cars fitted with PRT thermostat may have slightly different pluming to early TF’s?

From my experiences last year I think that you will find that this hose is no-longer available anywhere - (only fitted to the 160 because of the oil cooler).
For what it's worth I tried to make up a replacement using a tee piece of the largest bore I could find to fit the hose from the header tank, but discovered the whole made-up assembly caused too much restriction to the return flow. I reverted to the original pipe after a close inspection of said pipe, reasoning that , as it was on the 'cool' side of the engine and subjected to the 'cooler' return flow, it was less likely to fail compared to some of the other pipes.
I suppose an assembly could be made up using a larger than standard set of pipes with reducers at the points of attachment but I guess it would be a bit of a pigs ear to fit!
BTW, the original pipe is a continuous moulded item with with 3 attachment points and no fittings included in its make-up.
Not very helpfull I'm afraid, but perhaps something to think about!
Cheers, B.

Many thanks for the information, I was thinking along the lines of making up a pipe should I not be able to find a replacement.

The part number is PCH001710.

Have you checked with Rimmers if and when it will come back?
