If the hose is still intact then what I do sometimes is to use self annealing silicone tape wound around the weak areas for reinforcement and so far have had no failures.........

You can still use the tape on the end under the hose clip and use silicone sealant afterwards inside to fill the splits/cracks. It will get you out of trouble for a long while until you can source a better hose. I presume the hose is not one with a provision for a smaller hose to connect somewhere along its length.

Nah, his was in pretty good condition, though it's going to be running waterless coolant, so it won't be under any pressure anyway.
