cheers adz, i thought it would be a simple step of order some n get the job done, then there was like 10 billion different sizes to choose :doh:nenau

Check with a measure " if " ya gonna cut a piece out of your existing pipe :thumbs

If its a pipe then cut the leaking part out & replace with hose :thumbs

If its hose then remove & replace :thumbs



Only fuel leak i had was the injector rail & that took me bloody ages to track down :doh :augie :lol

so i only need to cut out the bits thats naffed up then? cool thats gonna save loads of time, thought i would have had to replace the lot :thumb2

We're all here to help :thumbs

I knew jack $hit about diesels n 4x4's (some would say still do) till i came here :bow

Now i know the basics & the rest is common mechanical sense :thumbs

I think from what i read on here that the fuel lines & brake pipes are prone to corrosion but are easily fixable :thumbs
