After replacing the rocker cover gaskets, I noticed that when refitting the alternator belt, it was almost rubbing on the top hose. Now I know they run close, but this had marks on the pipe from the occasional rub. So I decided to slide the pipe back along the joint at the top seeing as it was pushed on all the way, a good 50mm (2" in old money)

Sliding it back a repositioning the jubilee clip showed me why it was on so far, there was a hole in the bloody thing covered and sealed by the clip.

So after doing a search and came up with nothing, I now need to ask for assistance

Where do I get a new pipe from???? Anyone know part numbers etc. Thanks in advance for probably loads of useful replies

Just ordered one from the above.

£35ish plus vat and delivery. You are right Mr Clifford, they certainly are not cheap, a full set is almost £200. Don't think I will be changing them unless I have a catastrophic failure under the bonnet
