The rubber was very brittle and not elastic anyway so I reckon it would snap anyhow.
(or sell the item itself) since I can't find it in the online epc...just the whole BOV assembly ... ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}

... I called earlier asking about the hose (it's actually around 54mm bore, with 5 mm thickness) for the intercooler and they said they have it in stock. So I went there and then they said no .... 
Do I need any special requirements or any plain O-ring with the right diameter will do?sw20GTS wrote:sheppy wrote:pop up to B&Q, they are bound to have something similar
I hope so
I guess I will give Halfords another try.
Darn, what an unlucky day for me.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway mate, will pop in later to see if they have it.
a plumbing place or something will have one, can't think where though!sheppy wrote:sw20GTS wrote:sheppy wrote:pop up to B&Q, they are bound to have something similar

any old o ring will do, as long as it can take the heat.
The O-ring that snapped is red in colour. Rarely see any in that colour.:(and perhaps stock) the O ring I'm after. Well, going to call them up tomorrow

However, I'm not sure if they only deal with trade orders or will also manufacture
Failing that I guess I'll just get this

Not very sure if its highly heat resistant though.

see for these people who only deal with trade, if you go to autosave, they can order stuff in for you
Even asked about intercooler pipe still get the same answer.sheppy wrote:they're at it!!! unhelpful fookers, if you need anything from trade and i can help give me a shout, i know a few garages that can order stuff from trade, my mates dad also works in Dingbro so thats handy too
Honestly I am really hoping to get it over the counter so I can sort the BOV out this weekend!..(by 1mm) and its black! Not sure if its resistant to high temps... 6 months on no issues The standard o-ring is getting on for 5mm thick and even after using 2 Halfords ones at once it still didn't fill the tapered hole in the hard pipe.- the only club to win 'Best Club Stand' at JAE more than once, and twice in a row!toxo wrote:I posted on your wanted thread, I have one new in a bag I can send you for the price of postage.
I found that none of the o-rings I could get from Halfords or B&Q were thick enough.
Sheppy aka Ryan came over and sorted the HKS for me! Brilliant guy
