Re: Top hose clips
Just get a piece of chrome or stainless tubing and cut it to the right size then cut a slot in it - open it up and slide it on the hose -i used the leg of an old table - much cheaper than £55 !

I did exactly the same Malky!... a length of chrome wardrobe rail from B and Q in fact.

I like non standard, especially if it does the job as well as oem, but saves money too.
