Hi Nick.
Do you have the link for them if not the ones above which Craig used are the way to go will cost £10 but even if you buy the box from Halfords at £9.99 you will be one short as it only as three in it good luck with the job well worth doing Arctic.

sorry it was £6 for 2 sets of 2 including delivery. Ignore the picture as they use the same one across the board.

Hi Nick.
I have a feeling these will not fit as it looks like the 16mm is the outside barb measurement the inside diameter needs to be 12mm for a snug fit let us know when they arrive cheers Arctic.

They have arrived and the inside diameter is 12mm. I will update when fitted to confirm yay or nay.

Hi Nick
That would be great as that is a good price for four cheers Arctic.

Right, yes they do fit. MAN they are tight though. If I were to re-do the job I would get the other ones listed.
The black pipes only go in about 20-25mm max, the blue connector goes in to the rubber bit but it is a real fight so not worth the £5 saved in my opinion.

And it turns out the leak in the back of my tourer is from the air vent, its knackered

Hi James & Nev.
I have a feeling you will not be the only ones having to check or do this repair over the next few days weeks with all this rain it is going to really test the cars for leaks from the sunroof tubes, rear lights and the plenum tubes my advise is check now before its to late Arctic.

UPDATE: pool seemed to be getting deeper! and discovered that the rear drains were disconnected too!

seems the plastic tube hardens and falls off! now trimmed, siliconed and cable tied!
Hopefully now I can sell the waders!
