Heater Hoses

[Taliesins]

Are the heater hoses (the ones that fit on the valve on the bulkhead) only available from Toyota or can they be got elsewhere?

any water hose the same bore will do - but it will/may kink in certain areas because the stock one is made shaped.

Yes thats the problem which is why I wiil need to buy a stock one I will also need the brackets that fasten to the turbo inlet thingy. Because of the lack of these the heater hose has been rubbing on the engine and nearly worn through. (at least I have noticed before it has gone through and lost the coolant) Looks like a main dealer job.
