As far as I remember the only UK supplier offering SAMCO rad houses is amber performance, but they usually don't keep stock an you will have to wait for it around 3weeks as they importing it from US!
The best idea is to import them by yourself from US.

 

Lucas,
Just to clarify:-

Samco hoses are made "to order" in the UK hence the long delivery times if not in stock at the factory.

 

you can get stock hoses pretty much within the week! what wrong with good old rubber?

 

Wow! I was sure it was imported from US!? At least that was replay from amber performance when I was waiting 3 weeks and I started sending them emails?

EDIT: this the place where I bought mine:Samco Silicone Coolant Hose Kit - Subaru Forester 2.0l / 2.5l | eBay

Thanks for the info.

I have placed an order with the ebay link above - amber performance.

I'm changing the hoses whilst I have the coolant drained, upgrading as I go

I'll post pics once they arrive and are fitted

I need a set of hoses that will fit EJ255. For my 04 forester xt. Many kits on ebay say they will fit my car... but in description it says ej20. Will they still fit? I mainly need the upper and lower radiator hoses, but it would be nice if the others fit. there are so many choices! all at very different prices... I am new to the site. love it. thanks guys! I have had about 9 subarus. Now, all I want to do is build up my 04 xt. I will be having many questions soon I live in California by the way. I don't mind waiting for shipping. In no huge hurry. I just don't want to order a kit that is wrong. Thanks!

 

I would say Samco is the best set out there..... The 2.0 and 2.5 Foz Turbo hoses are the same for the SG
If you have a Mishimoto rad, you might prefer to stick to the same brand for the hoses too: Mishimoto Radiator Hose Kit Black Subaru Forester XT 2004-2008 MMHOSE-FXT-04BK at RallySportDirect.com

 

Don, Lucas, thanks guys.

 

Ordered Thursday afternoon arrived Friday Lunch - being fitted now

I emailed them about the very same thing a few months ago, this is what I got back -

Hello Andrew

Unfortunately we are unable to get anything from the US that is not on the UK site, If you contact James at Amber performance 01582664735 they purchase from the US on a regular basis

Many Thanks

I ended up getting the Samco ones, it was 5 weeks from ordering them to getting it delivered, However I have sent off my old hoses to Darrell at Scoobyworx who will hopefully have the first one ready soonish. The Samco pink is a bit too pale for me whereas Scoobyworx offers a neon pink
