Can have a look - there's a omega at the scrappy - 37k miles on the clock (genuine) will get a price - what's the going rate for a full set of fuel pipes these days?

All petrol ones are the same, but saloon and estate rear sections are different. And 4pot/V6 front sections are different. Readily available new :y

Can they wait until... next year?  :)

Clutch kits can be got anywhere, buypartsby are good for those.

The fuel hose is easy to get, I use this company:

http://www.ssldieselparts.co.uk/fuel-pipe-plastic-nylon-tubing-p-330.html

It means using short length of rubber with stainless fuel line clips for joints but its good stuff

The black plastic fuel pipe is available from hydraulic suppliers(it's airline on trucks); expect to pay about £20 for 30metres. It is possible to form permanent curves in it using a heat gun, and 30m is more than enough to practice with. Get the joining hose and clamps from the same place.

Have I got this right davieboy0312, it was an MoT adivsory that your fuel lines were 'corroded' - the metal bits which enter the engine bay? (everything else being plastic as just mentioned above)

No mate. I'm the nutter that's powder coated his engine etc and getting shell ready for same treatment next summer. But had to strip shell for blasting. Pipes wouldn't come apart so had to improvise with a big knife. Didn't think they would be so expensive or rare to find

Guess you're worried about the filter clips?

These can be replaced with 3-4 inches of ISO7480 fuel hose and four stainless spring clips either side of the filter.

Can use either another filter or a suitable length of stainless tube to join the return pipes together as well, but does rather depend on where and how you cut the fuel lines :-\
