Default Samco Hoses

Hi there I am new to passion ford and am having problems with fitting Samco hoses to my Sierra Sapphire 4x4 Cosworth. Is there anyone out there who can possibly help me out? Either with a good guid to fitting them or instructions of some sort as i do not really want to resort to a garage.........
For my first post on here i feel foolish for asking but at the end of the day you will never get anywhere if you do not ask

The 2 long 1's come off ur oil filter housing underneith your inlet manifold and the other two go to ur heater matrix, and are just above the exhaust manifold at the back, just in front of the bulk head

ps move ur dump valve to cold side yoof

Easier way to go about it is...if its black...swap it for a blue hose thats the same shape

Hey there cossie604 you said to put my dump valve on the cold side?
What are the advantages of that?
As you can see i am not very engine orientated but i am very willing to give it a go.
By the way thanks for all the help so far
