Replaced the Radiator Bottom Hose

Radiator Bottom Hose Part Number: ESR536

My radiator bottom hose (ESR536)  had a split in it that was threatening to go right through and I wasn’t too happy with the duck tape wrapped round it so as soon as the replacement part arrived from LRSeries.com I fitted it.

Obviously I didn’t go for the genuine Land Rover part as it was £54.11 compared to £7.85 but I did notice that the walls of the hose were a lot thinner than the part on the landy so maybe it is worth going for original? Has anyone else noticed replacement hose splitting before genuine?
