Do i have to buy the stock upper radiator hose for my land rover?

...or can i just buy a hose from napa that is the same diameter and is automotive grade material.Do i have to buy the stock upper radiator hose for my land rover?
You need to buy the radiator hose made for your vehicle. Most have bends and twists that will not tolerate replacement with generic hose. You can buy a replacement hose at an auto parts store you should not have to spend the money on a dealer part. Good luck!!!
s long as there is no bends in it and you don't kink It you'll be fineDo i have to buy the stock upper radiator hose for my land rover?
Napa should have the same hose as the dealer, as long as the vehicle is not to new. It has to be so old before the manufacturer will release the parts to the other retailers. But the should have it in stock. They will let you know if they do or not.
napa is fine see if you can get numbers off the hose and they can cross reference it for you.Do i have to buy the stock upper radiator hose for my land rover?
No. you can buy one aftermarket...Does not have to be OEM
if does not have wired bends it should be ok to buy a high pressure hose same inside diameter from home depot or lowes....( is much cheaper, they sell it by foot, you will have left over just in case it bust outs ( I put one on my semi truck, i needed 1 inch and 1/4, i found only 1 inch one, was a hell to put it back.... even thou was eated by the alternator belt a little, it is just fine.... will coast u a dollar. but make sure is it high pressure hose, that has inserts in it....

Ps:if it does have bends.... and u have no other option u might as well get a longer high heat pressure hose than the normal one...put a spring inside for the lenght of the hose (if smaller might be of, but u must have the spring where it bends..Find a stainless steel spring that will not corode....It should work....but if the nends are to tight....get an aftermarket coolant hose, or from napa, or from dealer.....
Napa will probably have an exact fit. Many are longer than stock just align the curves then cut off the ends.
