Matt,

The rad to thermostat housing pipe is always tight. Although this sounds like a bodge the best way to cure this, is to use cable ties and pull the water hose away from your alternator!

I do this on most cars I work on, and whilst its not the prettiest option is the most reliable!!!

also just check the belts are fully tighten and NOT flapping/bouncing about as the go round
