Hey Guys, my hose from hell has burst and need to try and get it fixed but the mechanic quoted $500 plus. Does anyone know anyone who has done this before? Thanks

That sucks dude, hope you weren't far from home when it went!
There's plenty of guys on here that have replaced their HFH, it's a bit of a pain, they don't call it the hose from hell for no reason... but its doable if you're mechanically minded, I believe it's easier if you have an aftermarket dump pipe.
There is a fair bit of labour involved if you get your mechanic to do it, there's a few things in the way like intake piping and the oil cooler which need to be removed. 
It's probably a good idea to replace the Hose from Hell on Earth (HFHOE) while you're in there, and as the oil cooler is coming off you might want to replace the gaskets / o-rings on that too.
Good luck!

Yeah. Yer can tell who has done one. Bleeding from elbows down.
Do it yourself. Great way to gain a better appreciation for why you pay a mechanic.
Don't be a woose .  Wouldn't do any harm to say where you are either.
Someone may be willing to recommend an experienced mechanic in your area.

Might be a good time to look at replacing all of your cooling system hoses and flush your cooling system whilst your at it, if your car hasn't had all of the hoses done than its probably only a matter of time before another hose lets go.

Hey Nik_Lee, I'm actually going to order some red silicone hose replacements so will have to do it a couple of weeks later. But it is on the list :) I have ordered the HFHOE so will replace that at the same time.

Toyota don't have the HFH in stock and is a 3 week wait so will have to just use normal heater piping. Anyone know what size I need? Thanks

Amayama will most likely have it and ship it much faster than toyota. not really a part i'd mess around with honestly.

I have someone coming to help me on Sunday so need all the parts by then. I have everything else apart from this :(

I recently purchased a MR2 without a engine, i'm going to add this to the list of parts to change when I get a engine, is there anything else you're replacing at the same time in that area attycuz?
