I've always used 8mm bore rubber hosing with reinforcing threads, never had any probs with leaking. just make sure that the clamps are tight. Can you post some pics so I can see exactly what you mean by "I've broke the nipple off!" Has this come off the fuel regulator? if so what are you fitting to???

sorry mate, meant to say snapped the nipple off my old regulator while in the process of fitting a new one,(fixing the dreaded t4 slow starting issue)

Ahh! right with you now. as I said I generally use 8mm flexible hosing to replace rottten steel ones. did you want the part numbers? if so vadis doesn't list a part number for the length of pipe that comes from the top of the pressure regulator (the one poking out the top in line with the regulator), if it's the pipe that comes out at 90 degrees from the base of the regulator then the part number is 1332454. hope this helps!
