When i rev the car up, the new "rimmers hose", appears to balloon an awful lot more than original.
Not good imo.

That is because the Rimmer hose as you put it appears to have no structural strength and it is essentially an open ended baloon, soon to burst.!! a waste of
money, is it likely to last the best part of 13 years? is it indeed.!! buy the silicon one from Jules much much better quality and service, will probably outlast the car.
