The eBay link is not the part you're looking for, the item in that link is for the upper hose which is highlighted in blue on that diagram. It is an easy job to replace the hose and can be done in a short time with the simplest of tools.

You sure? The description states it replaces parts 2 and 11 in the diagram in the second picture of the ebay link (only just noticed this) which to me looks like the pipe that i need.

rather just get the pipe replaced at the moment, cars going soon so want to keep costs down if possible.
if someone could point me in the direction of a like for like replacement that would be great.

Thanks
