While I had my head down the back of the engine I noticed how close the rubber fuel pipes are to the exhaust manifold eek
I’ve read about people fitting braided lines, any suggestions where to get some from? They are the type that attach to fixed lines by the washer motor.

You can make your own fuel lines using various different peoples fittings.

Try Think Automotive

For an idea of cost and fittings.

Thanks for those, I used to live a stones throw from Think Automotive, can't think why I didn't think of them! (sorry)
I guess the best bet is to take the old lines in to the shop & they can give me all the right bits, the guys at Think were very helpful for making up oil lines like that.
