I'm in Essex for 10 days now, but I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow if I have time -  also I might try using the t clamp as suggested, to see if that works, as I'm pretty sure that the vacuum leak is caused by using a jubilee clip (it creates a bulge in a certain area of the pipe if you try compressing it more than 2mm)  and by having the current coupler slightly too short.

Cheers, Mo

Just be careful with the T clamps as I've seen people do them what they thought was ok, only to find it had completely bent the piping

Swapped the jubilee clip out for the T clamp, and it has been a success! no more annoying whining noise for me!

Cheers for all the help and suggestions
