Hi guys, just giving the car a once over and I notice the top hose from the radiator looks a little large at the right angle. I can't remember what it was like last time I looked. Is it starting to bulge or are they all like that? Hose is soft and not hard to squeeze.
Many thanks

Not sure as I have a 4.0, but it does look a little large. Considering the miles I would not take a chance and replace it. You definitely don't need a blown hose.

 

If it's original, replace it.

 

+1 on replacing the hose. Do the other side while you are at it. Soft hoses are not your friend. Blown hoses on an aluminum engine = tow job.

They are cheap insurance and an easy DIY job.

 

Thanks guys. There's a job gone straight to the top of the to-do list!
