Hey guys, Disco 1 200tdi Lt77

After unexpectendly losing my clutch this evening I have traced the fault to an empty reservoir and a leaking damper. I understand that you can just bypass the damper (the Def 200tdi Lt77 doesnt even have on in the first place) but just wondering if anyone know what is the easiest way to do this hose wise. I'm a bit of an amateur to vehicle hydraulics but keen to learn and fix it. I expect I need some kind of joiner for each hose to screw into but what am I looking for, do I need to custom one up?
 
I managed to butcher one together for my 300 tdi with the r380 box from the pipes that were already there, I don't know if yours is the same but I took all my pipes off and then put it back together with the bits I had, but not as it was. Worth trying and seeing what's there, I do know I didn't buy anything extra but can't really remember how I did it, if that makes sense.
 
Thats very much what I was hoping to hear! I will rip off the piping that is there and try and and rebuild something workable. If not maybe one of the local motor factors, or LR specialist can sort me something. Im assuming a Defender 200tdi standard hose kit would work as that would be for the same parts but never with the damper fitted :)
