7.9mm or 5/16" imperial.
Just done mine. The old stuff split and p*ssed fuel all over the exhaust and turbo

This: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2508335899...945%26_rdc%3D1 Is the correct stuff.
lasts the lifetime of the vehicle, it's R9 rated, the highest there is.

Thanks to AliB who recommended it.

Worth searching stainless petrol pipe clips and replacing those at the same time
