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?

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"

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
