Leaking Water Pipes Temporary repair

[Brownbetty]

My front to back pipes have sprung a small leak. Replacements are on back order. Can anyone suggest a temporary repair to see me through until the new ones arrive?

try putting some k seal in it.it worked for me when mine developed a drip.your local auto factor should stock it.where are the pipes on back order from.as iirc they are obsolete from vw.i bought some of the stainless steel ones from just kampers.

You do not say if they are metal or plastic..... ???
I have a set of plastic ones you can have if you can arrange collection from Runcorn.

Yes I did say "HAVE"

ive got some rubber pipe the same bore that goes over the plastic pipe about a foot long you can have if you want to pick it up plus clips as well

One of the plastic pipes on me "jx" leaked at the olive where it connects to the radiator hose. Put an extra jubilee clip on it as a temporary repair. It lasted fine for almost 12 months with no issues then replaced the pipes with a set on stainless steel ones for a permanent cure, not the cheapest repair but it my opinion the best as you cannot get the plastic front to rear pipes new anymore
