just mentioning, what construction year is your 340?

there are 2 radiators for a 1400 car, the lower radiator hose isn't affected by this fact, the upper has 2 models,

one version is for a wide radiator, and the other for a small radiator.

mk2 most likely has a small radiator (about 40/50cm long)
mk3 most likely has a wide radiator (about 60/70cm long)

Cut out section of hose where the hole is.Connect the two bits with a pipe,copper is obviously pretty good.
She'll be good to go 'til such time as ya locate the relevant part.
Then keep ya cobbled up/pikey effort as a spare 8)

i bought today the short one but I need the long one :-) shop refund me the money £9 and sold a tape for £5 - which on the box says that is used by US army,it vulcanize itself thanks to high temperature, hehe
so far tape is working , but I will ask for the right hose tomorrow

thanks
