Hi,

I'm looking at getting a rusty section of fuel line replaced with a high quality replacement section in the Dorset / south coast area. Do you have any recommendations please?

Many thanks

Its my Porsche 968 but knowing of similar problems on mk1 Golfs among others I'm not convinced it takes a Porsche specialist to make up and fit some high pressure lines and connectors.

Thanks, they certainly look like a useful supplier of the bits but not sure they'd actually do the work?

There's a Porsche Indy in Christchurch near the rail station on barrack road, supposed to be good

Thanks, I'm well aware of them. This is not a Porsche specific job and I don't believe warrants Porsche (even specialist) pricing....

I guess south coasters all drive newest cars and haven't experienced these problems?!

you might find your local hydraulic hose supplier can do it, in Southampton just under the Itchen bridge there is Hampshire hose, the fellas in there are spot on.

Might be tricky sourcing the correct end fittings, but you might get lucky and be able to re-use yours.
