Plastic pipe
There's a short bit of plastic pipe between the accumulator and end of metal fuel line running under the car. Is this correct? And where can I get a replacement? It really narrow, 8mm maybe?

Re: Plastic pipe
You will be lucky to get another clear plastic one quickly. Its best you replace it with any good quality, unleaded petrol compatible hose. Any motor factor should keep a handy sized length in stock.

Re: Plastic pipe
It's actually black so wondering if it's the poly worsit pipe. Can I replace it with braided over rubber and jubilee clips or are the pressures to high? The accumulator is mounted solid so maybe just extend the new hard lines all the way to it? Or does it still wobble?!
