Yep. Probably looking to change the thin vac pipes on the V6, as most have at least one repaired split in them. They're brittle and I've a fast and slightly hunting idle, the probably cause being a leak somewhere.
Heard somewhere VX only sell you it in 10metre lengths??? Its like selling tyres in packs of three! ::)
Cheers :y

You talking about the REALLY thin multiram pipes i take it DBG? Looking at this with interest cos i feel like replacing mine :)
-
Stop looking at me with interest!!!
Ok, maybe a little :y
-

-
10 metres should see the car replumbed :y

I guess so, judging by the first post :y

The Red Baron Market again!! Right, we have a choice, then, Mr The Bear - price up Red Baron's pipe, price up Vauxhall's and work out if it's worth two members (or three, even? No idea how much would be used per car?) clubbing to, and split the cost.
Is this pipe new unusued from VX or good used, please Mr Baron? :)|
Thanks

Wouldn't mind betting something like this would work just fine: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/air-hose/4834914/
Obviously check the ID & OD of the stock pipework and find the right diameter there to suit.

sorry al, missed that part in first post.
to be honest mate i would have thought ten metres would be about right (as al mentioned). they're pretty long and there's a load of 'em. :)

Good stuff. Right, don't want to flaunt any forum rules regarding sales in other areas but 'For Sale Section' Red Baron, would you like to pm me? Cheers :) Guessing my good friend Mr The Bear will also require a pm :)
-
best thing is..if you both pm me your requirements & i will see what i can do for you. :y

Much appreciated. :y

It's just nylon tube as used in air systems.
Try a hydraulics supplier, who will sell it by the metre. You don't want much, or long lengths. Pay cash and it will be cheap; I buy 6mm bore for fuel lines for about £0.50/m.

Yes. but any decent size town will have several places where you could have it in the next half an hour. And not have the remaining 20m hanging around for ever.

If your ever down the scrappy , pull off all the vac pipes and store them ... oh and take the brake vac pipe too ::)
-
My local factors sells it. ;)
Don't forget the connectors, T-pieces and elbows. Might as well renew those while your at it! :y

The Red Baron has offered me some original Omega ones, including all T-pieces and elbows etc.. I'm just in two minds, if I can get is as cheap as it appears, 50p a metre or similar, I don't want to waste his time climbing in and out of his
shed warehouse of bits getting the things. :-\
Hoping to acquire some other items, to make it worth his while.
