They are a bit of a sod to fit aren't they?
Started at just before 2PM today and just finished - 3 1/2 hours. Oddly I found the long one from the manifold to the intercooler the biggest pain - literally as I managed to slip with the screwdriver and tear the skin off the end of my thumb. A rather gooey looking plaster is holding it all in place at the moment (thumb not intercooler).

You fitted all 3 in 3 1/2 hours? I would say you did really well.IID PRO

Thank you Andy and Rob!
I got the hoses on time (before leaving for holidays). I've changed the two big ones (the small will be done in the future with the service).
Then, I discovered this (around 3 to 4cm!):

Now, the engine runs as new! It looks like a better torque and fuel saving as well. I imagine that the circuit was already not hermetic before this hose dies.
In any case, I am very happy that I did it and it was not too much work.

Thanks Rob for organising and Andrew for speedy delivery.
Think I've been sent 1 less 50-70mm jubilee clip (got 4Nr 40-60 and 2Nr 50-70), but will use an existing one from the old pipe.
Not looking forward to fit the shorter pipe.....
