I want to change my spill pipes on my 2.5d.

I can buy the original pipes from LR cut to length for £30.

But that does seem rather high.

I understand they are 3.2mm inside. Would 2 lengths of this be OK?

DIESEL LEAK OFF FUEL INJECTOR PIPE AND TWO END BLANKS on eBay, also, Other Car Parts, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 25-Jun-09 14:23:47 BST)

Has anyone used aftermarket stuff?

Try looking in Yellow Pages for hydraulic factors, most of them keep the pipe but check the size there loads quite a few close together, I buy mine in 10 metre lengths, but I do use it for work. That way its cheap as chips and you cut it to lengh your self.

I'm quite happy to buy 2 lenghts of that stuff for less than £10, I just wanted to know if it will do the job as well as the genuine stuff.

They look ok to me, as long as the internal measurements are right, buy them, i got mine from Vauxhall (Omega engine) and there just down the road from me for a few ££

Go to your nearest Agricultural Engineers, they will have rolls of the stuff from fixing tractors, you will most likely get change from a fiver as you only need about a metre of it

God, I completely forgot about that.

I have been good friends with my locl Vaux parts depo for years and get everything at trade club prices.

This is also where I get my oil and filter from when I do an oil change.

Dont happen to have the part numbers do you?
