Citrojim - it looks like it has spring clips that you remove with mole grips so maybe that is a relief!

Indeed it is They're easy....

Apart from the bottom hose one if its been left in a certain position it was a pig of a job to get off on my VSX

True, but a lot, lot less of a pig compared to the bottom hose bayonet Richard

Just looking at the Rad again on the Xant TD. The two bigger pipes connect into female outlets with what looks like a wire clip?

Is this the dreaded bayonet connectors - whats the SOP for getting the hose off - do I just pull the wire up?

The smaller dia pipe halfway down connects via a spring clip

Cheers

Yes that sounds like the bayonet connectors, lift the wire spring clip out of the slot then manipulate the hose out by wiggling it etc.
