I have managed to locate the thin metal pipe that runs along the subframe and it is leaking bad but to get access I am going to have to cut a section out of the floor tommorow if anyone knows the best route for me to get a replacement pipe it would be much appreciated

1. Don't cut the floor, drop the subframe. Easy job. See your other thread.

2. Speak to martin at Pleiades for pipe...

Absolutely. Martin, the guru of all things Citroen Hydraulics at Pleiades. His contact details are here.

He can make up new pipe runs, complete with flares and seals, to your needs and supply any spares you might need.

Martin is incredibly helpful. If you live in range, pay him a visit but do take a packet of choccy bikkies

Sorry, I have to laugh..

Im still, in theory, waiting for a Pump to Regulator feed pipe for my car, which I called him about before christmas...

Luckly I have found a couple more spares from cars here.

Seriously though, Martin is the Hydraulic Pipe and recon Parts man!
