v6 rusting/leaking lower cooling pipe
Hi all as per title i have the above issue. It is the cooling pipe that goes along the bottom of the bumper. I have read that there is a stainless steel version which is more hard wearing than the mild steel version. I have tried the search function with no luck (i am abit hit and miss with the search function lol).
Many thanks in advance for all help Chris.

This is it
http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-PFV000090SS I did a temporary fix on mine first with some rubber hosing and metal interconnects. This would probably have lasted forever so if money is tight you could look at that |

Same part as Rimmers, but a better price.

Oh, wait a minute, you mean a "metre". How silly of me. Yes, I'd have thought so. If you have a look under your car you'll be able to measure it for yourself.  Simon
