David & Leigh,
Thank you both for posting about this issue. The extent of the internal corrosion is alarming and as I'm about to do my stainless steel pipes & coolant alarm, I've just ordered a hose via the link that Leigh posted to change as a precaution.
Are there any other hoses do you think that have a history of early failure/splitting?
