Guys
Have the diff and rear stripped down so whilst I am in there I will change the fuel lines. I am assuming the feed goes down the passenger side with the return down the driver side. What is the other hose running down the passenger side and disappearing into the boot? And does it need changing?
Thanks
IAn

Is that the breather pipe to the carbon canister?

It is the breather to the CC. Dont usually perish, but still worth checking and replacing whilst you are under and in !

While you're removing and replacing fuel hoses can you tell me what i.d. hose is required for the input to the fuel pump? That's the one that goes between the pump and the little shaped piece of tube which goes over the wishbone - it looks like it's a slightly larger diameter than the rest of the fuel hoses.
Thanks.

Just changed the return from the tank to the copper pipe easy job

changed pipe to pump 12mmID ,pump to flter,filter to copper pipe .

You need to drop the Anti roll bar and the plate holding the anti roll bar to change the last bit..

Breather pipe is hose all the way ( not copper)..to the carbon canster..what is the black thing above the tank which is part of the breather system...

I think it's the rollover protection valve, presumably shuts the fuel pump off if you ever find yourself upside down.
