Default coolant hose connector

I need to replace my three way rad. coolant hose connector. I found a couple universal one's but I'm not exactly sure of the hose diameter. Anyone know right off hand?
Thanks

You are better off replacing the hose. There is a bleeder in the T. If the bleeder isn't there but in the hose, then it's an old hose that needs replaced anyway. The old style hose is likely to blow and cause you to over heat.

No universal hoses on a Disco unless you want over heat problems because you can't bleed the system properly.
Also plan on changing out your old t/stat if it hasn't been done in the last 60,000 miles.

I didn't know about the bleeder. Thanks for clueing me in. I saw it in the manual & was a bit confused because mine doesn't have one in the hose OR the 'T'!
Luckily I haven't had any overheating issues. The 'T' is corroded & partially broken @ one end.
I found & ordered the whole upper hose ***. w/the bleeder in the 'T' from RoversNorth this morning. I sure couldn't find it anywhere around town.
I guess I should of ordered a thermostat also.
By thermostat do you mean the whole housing assembley?

Thanks
