Hi,

Can anyone tell me where to buy or send me a link to somewhere that sells pilers for removing the hose clips on the heating hoses that run into the thermostat unit?

I need to replace the thermostat and geting the hose clips to move is proving to be a real pain...

Many thanks folks,

Dobbs.

I bought these ones when I needed to get the clamp off the intake pipe on my PD130 which buried away. Did I the job absolutely fine.

Can you not just use mole grips? That's what I normally use. Normally only a few quid from high street discount stores.

Mole grips are fine on the majority of these but for certain ones with limited access you can't beat using the correct tool for the job.
