HI,

Got a full set for my cossie last year from FMD changed 'em all when bypass hose went, including new stat.

I have found over the years that the trick with FMD is to identify the parts yourself from the drawings on their computer, because most of their descriptions are translated from German to English and don't sound anything like what you require ;) ....

i.e. Cosworth Engine and Gearbox Wiring Loom we would say....They say Fuel Cut Off Loom.... ???

Part Numbers for hoses, thermostat and associated gaskets you will need

7334646 - is the bad boy thermostat bypass hose  
7334644 - is the small elbow to the water pump  
1053121 - is the bottom radiator hose

1006844 - is the upper inlet manifold gasket (you'll need 2)  
6326205 - is the EGR valve gasket  (this is what you will need if you do the bad boy)

7334678 - is the thermostat

I reckon Rich has a leaking hose at the back of the engine,possibly the one attached to the little water rail that runs through the V,he should be able to repair it with the assistance of a gynaecologist  ;D
