Struggling to find a replacement cooling hose

My TF sprang a leak a week or so ago and I finally found time to get under it and remove the culprit, it turns out to be part number PEH000581 which has burst on the elbow half way down. I figured I would replace the whole thing from the head to the Thermostat but after trying various places nobody seems to stock the part any longer, part 23 on the attached image, (although all other parts are in stock).

I would appreciate anyone pointing me in the direction of a solution or alternative as I don't know where to go next. I have tried all of the obvious online sites.

I guess you've looked at Rimmers who have one hose '23' but with a different part number:

Is this it:

Thanks everyone

I have made contact with some of these. Thanks for the Rimmers lead, it looks like they have one but not most of the other parts. I am just awaiting a call back from one of the others before I decide what best to do

Rover 75 / MGZT 1.8 turbo Coolant Hose & Thermostat Assy BRAND NEW
Completed

Try the above company, Roverlink. The above item cost over £300 from Rimmers and was on back order since Noah was a lad. The coolant pipes were actually for a SAIC MG7 and not a 75. But with a bit of butchering managed to fit.

Their customer service leaves a bit to be desired and the parts they supply may be SAIC MG parts but some actually appear to be of a better quality than the MGR originals. However if they can supply a set I believe that the Chinese N Series pipe setups are slightly different to the MGR built TF's.

So to cut a long story short-you may be able to get a full set of coolant pipes for a good price but be prepared for an uncaring attitude and slightly different Chinese parts.

Thanks for everyone's help. After several phone calls and emails I have managed to source the parts from two suppliers. Fingers crossed they turn up and are correct. I then just have the fun of fitting them!
