Hi Bill

That is one of the pipes that is still showing as available direct from Citroen, so I suggest you contact them as you won't get these new from elsewhere, being that they are bespoke pipes.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

I'm out at sea just now, so can't do anything to help you just yet, however if your stuck and can't get anything by say 19th of this month, drop me a line. The reason being that I'm developing a solution for replacement LDS pipes meaning that I am possibly in a position to hook you up with a cuni pipe to replace this pipe --> hose --> pipe assembly.

Hi Bill,
The old pipe may be repairable by a hydraulic hose company (I've just Googled 'hydraulic hose repair Stirling' and there's a good few options in your neck of the woods).
I had one of my rear suspension pipes repaired for £25 a few years ago and it was still fine 3 months later when I finally got around to fitting a proper replacement.
