possible, yes. but you'll need a spare set of hoses to send to Samco because they don't have a hose kit for any 343,345,340 or 360.

and espescially for a 1.7 engine, these will get very dawm expensive, just take a look at the radiatorhose that goes to the thermostate at the rear of the engine and you'll instantly know why :lol:

ive already looked at getting these produced for both 1.7 and 1.4, and a complete kit to get the tooling made is expensive in its self!

It never hurts to put the question to the manufacturer themselves. Not only do you get to find out, they realise there is more interest in the model than they thought.

+1 to that ...

Around a year or so ago, Figgy bought some hoses from Volvo for her 360, and some were still available. I keep meaning to go to a dealer with a long list of part numbers, just don't seem to get around to it ATM ...

just where i went,

its a choice of 100% ownership by you = expensive or 50/50 witht he manufacturing which means they can also sell it themselves..

There are many more places than Samco that do hose kits, SFS feature in "A 4x4 is born" making a bespoke hose kit for the vehicle in question
