So Plan B into operation -Fortunately the oversize banjo has a perfectly good condition steel pipe from it which connected to the anti -vibration hose just a few inches away so I was able to remove that hose and then fit my new hose from there to the new banjo on the bottom of the radiator. The other two pipes were replaced fully with hose as planned and I only had to use a few cable ties and a homemade pipe suppport (ex snouted bottle top from a degenerating bottle of wood glue
) to keep them all free from potential rubbing on anything and the job was done. I went through the gearbox bleeding procedure and topped up the fluid, I had only lost about 30cc and the car now even pulls better and gearchanges are crisper so obviously the system leak was causing a drop in fluid pressure which has now been rectified!! One small error I made was to forget to remove the old pipe to hose spring clip before tightening the new one so I had to use a cable tie to stop it rattling along the pipe 
- The hose to pipe connection - with anti rattle tie.
- Own work - The home made hose support!
- The offside connections
- The nearside connections
What car was that on?
