If you need a quick fix, get a flexi hose.

Replace it with the correct item later.

Choices at TVR Parts. You may consider changing the lot, there are other aftermarket providers for that:

You could go used for £15 if you can collect:

I don't think you'll get one from anywhere by tomorrow unless you collect yourself.

Click the link on my post.

A really good motor factor might stock them. Halfords won't.

ETA: Where has the existing hose split, and how bad is it? Is there any chance of replacing the split section with a rigid pipe (or splice in a rubber bend of similar diameter using rigid pipe and Jubilee clips) as a temporary measure?

I can’t work out how to post a photo.. but it’s split right down the seam...
it’s probably the original as the car only has 22/23k on the clock...
