Top rad hose split

Got home today and water was pissing out the top rad hose through a small hole....

It was coming out the bottom bit of hose.

stupid question time.....all the replacement hoses I can see online are one piece and clearly I have a metal bit for a sensor in the middle making two smaller hoses. Do I just order a hose and cut it? Or do I order one small one?

also it best to order a bottom hose if the top one has expired?:sos:

Yep cut it & yes I'd replace both .
If your replacing with oe a pair of gates one will be about £20 from a motor factors

Quite odd that the sensor bit is clamped with mikalor clamps :o

What CJ said, if your not really close to the pulleys then no point in Silicon ones.
