Be thankful you don't have the earlier type which is no longer available - which is possibly what you are seeing on eBay at an inflated price.
By all means buy a used one to save £15 but buying new means it will probably outlast the car. Depends if you are keeping the car I guess.
I still have my old one - can be for sale.
With my car being a HDI the hose has a tee on it with a smaller hose going to the header tank so a 1351ZV hose will be no good!
I tried the dealers today & the correct hose is a 1351ZQ and is priced at £48 inc vat!
Needless to say I didn't order one. I'm going to make up a brass adaptor on the lathe with one end fitting into the radiator with an o-ring same as the original hose. The other end will have a hose barb so it will take the old hose after I cut off the rusted end. I'll take some pics & start a post about it.
