  Outstanding - even I got that one.

Fair point, especially with no bump in the pipe to keep the hose on, that'd pop before the hose ever did.

I know what you mean about replacing hoses - I've had to replace the piece joining the two injector rails on the Nissan a few times, and annoyingly it runs right under the inlet manifold (well thought out, that  )

Anyhoo

You can get repair kits that consist of rubber hose and hose clips, and a rigid section that presses into the plastic fuel line at each end of the repair. This gives the plastic pipe a little more rigidity to prevent it collapsing and also provides a flare to keep the hose on. My emergency repair held perfectly well without it though. I made sure there was plenty of length of plastic pipe inside the rubber hose giving a greater surface area over which to grip.

They have been making cars of all makes for years which have joints that consist of no more than plastic pipe with rubber sections fitted as described held in place with jubilee clips.

All done and dusted, still holding just fine! Thanks guys. And glad I'm not the biggest bellend on this thread thus far, its makes me feel so much better
