Default Broke Radiator Bleed Hose

Hey guys, new here. Recently got a 2003 disco, was trying to check the air filter and broke the radiator bleed hose - see attached picture of hose I broke.

Where can I find a replacement hose?

Thanks

If fadiator nipple is ok then just get few feet of radiator rubber hose and replace that plastic brittle hose going from radiator to coolant reservoir,, that's what everybody does, (can get it from most auto part stores that seek it by foot),,,, while doing it also replace the other brittle hose going from truffle body heater plate to coolant reservoir also,( is its still ok, do it anyway it will also break very soon),

Be careful not to break the nipples , on radiator and coolant reservoir when replacing hoses, they are also brittle,,

Yes bleed,, shouldnot be much air in cooling system, but it's a good idea to bleed after any hose change or coolant lose, just don't over tighten bleed screw, remember it's the O-ring that makes the seal,,
