what one you after? if the top one, halfords do some universal hoses and i used one of these till i could get my hands on the proper one. not a cheap temporary fix at a tenner though. but done the job for a few days.

Could give ESB a go anyway?

That wouldn't have anything to do with the way you was driving last night by any chance?

Saw you by the Moby Dick on the A12 at about 22.45.

Quite a nifty little U-turn and then off into the distance............... at pace!

Car was sounding SWEET by the way!

I had already tried to repair the pipe, this little blast finished it off, had a little play with a boxter, would have been a much better turn if i had hit first instead of third
