Yeah tell me about it!, I went to the dealers as mine was split was told they had modified the part because of this and the grand total for the said B Tube(part 037 103 213 B)was Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£31.99 +VAT :sick: The hose you've mentioned in question Chris is as adyh pointed out is Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£11 +VAT from the stealers but you should be able to find a decent one knocking about at a breakers.
