i have had a 106 gti conversion done on my saxo and i blew the bottom half of the rad bleed hose about 2-3 months ago, and now last night i blew the rad hose comin from the bottom of the rad towards the back of the engine, could someone give me possible explanations why i keep blowin my rad hoses?

you can get some silicon hoses from ebay or other samco hose stockists - i THINK that there are 2 for the saxo. there are some on ebay for around £80 ish i fink and they can handle allot more pressure than standard hoses so could solve your problem!
