I have a '99 Series II with one blown oil cooler hose and excellent oily rustproofing underneath.

The hoses seem to be NLA. RoversNorth gave me numbers PBP101100 and ESR4627. Are there alternatives for these? I haven't found a vendor with a replacement part.

Could likely get a local hydraulic shop to make you some hoses.

 

Did the fitting fail or is the hose itself broken? I’ve replaced the fittings at the cooler due to failure there. Search here for the fix. I’ll have to dig up exactly what I did and the part numbers of parts used.

 

I had the same issue with oil cooler hoses NLA for a classic 900 Saab and had new hoses made locally. The added benefit was that they were much less expensive than what the OEM hoses would have been if they were available.

 

If the metal fittings are OK, and just the rubber is knackered, 100000% you should go to a local hydraulic shop and have them remade.

 

If the fittings are good don't even need to go to the local shop, just cut the metal shroud off the existing hose and put new hose with hoseclamp on. Make sure to use oil cooler rated hose.

 

As an option: 14mm compression fittings fit on the oil cooler tubing perfectly (with a bit of sanding them down, since they are 14.3mm in diameter). These never leak again. I did my own lines with hose and fittings from summitracing.
