Thanks Roger for your trouble in replying.
The process took forever and in the end was so frustrating that I did not do the valve - folly I know - but getting the hoses on and off in the cramped area was a PITA and I ran out of time.
Car seems OK after the whole thing so a big relief here.
Did some vacuum hoses while in there too.
As for the hoses. I changed the upper radiator hose and the by pass hose - the one that goes to the block and I left the one from the expansion bottle.
The issue of them seeming fused was in fact that they had been kind of fixed together almost as if the hoses had been purchased as a unit. It was strange. When I pulled and pulled and they came apart the surfaces were OK but the three hoses had obviously been glued or such at the point where they cross. Maybe just for tidiness???
Anyway, if the by pass goes tomorrow I sell the sucker. lol.
