I have some of that sat in my garden at the moment, left over from some cable routing i did on the van last week. If it really will do fine, i could stick a length (oo err Missus) in the post for you - let me know how much you want

heres mine, B&Q............don't collapse either but guess its a bit more of a mod than a simple straight replacement.........

Belly laugh - I've just used some washing machine inlet hose for the vacuum servo hose! Nothing else in the workshop that was anywhere near close enough in size or stiffness. My only reservation was that the engine heat might be too much for it but figured it was stiff enough and is designed to handle very hot water (rubber lined) so should (in theory) be fine in there. Time will tell I guess Looks nice in red anyway

Will take a pic tomorrow. If it can stand life in the engine bay I'll probably WIKI that one but just in case, kept the old one.
