If you are in a rush like i was yesterday and need them rather than wait for mail order then go to your local B&Q (seriously) as they have all the bigger sizes that car suppliers don't stock
genuine jubilee clips are the ones too have, or mikalor for boost hoses are pretty good
remember they really dont have to be that tight, so dont go too mad
Ill go for them then thanks, also i never did them THAT tight as i could still move everything so i thought one more turn and snap!

Pay for cheapies, get cheapy performance, as said use SS ones, I use the NORMA ones, or for mikalor type clamps I use marine grade SS from Norma.

Cheers everyone, never knew there was so many to choose from lol. I was hoping to buy them from eBay but i want them all looking the same for the bay. Ill just buy Jubilee make ones as i dont trust the others (unless i see them in a shop somewhere before i buy them)
Oh also what are them clips called where you have to squeeze them to make them bigger and when you let go there tight. i thought spring clips but is there a proper name?
Well you dont have to dig it out mate just as long as they was not like ££££ each. I might get enough to do two engines so i have one set spare. If you did just "find" it then post how much please but dont go out your way to do so
ok mate will do but they def wasnt that expensive dont think i pad more than 15 quid for the whole engine's worth, even the ones on the matrix pipe an the ones that go into the back of the inlet on a mfi engine

Agree with this, been getting a error code on my Golf for months for boost leak, I replaced the mikalor clamps with the B&Q jubilee ones and is now perfect.
