75 diesel vac pipe

sworks · 9th October 2019, 06:00

I replaced the brake vac pipe on my diesel using injector leak off pipe last year or the year before as it has a reinforced outer covering and I thought it would last longer. I’ve noticed over the last week after using the car more than usual that the pedal will sometimes still go hard. It’s only happened a couple of times but that’s frankly a couple of times too many. I think it happens when I’ve used the brakes a lot over a short period as its been when ive struggled to get the car on the drive due to other parked cars and im on and off the brakes. There are no splits so I’m guessing the bore may be slightly thinner depleting the vacuum as the pedal returns to normal on the second press? Looking on Rimmers site I can only see the main servo plastic pipe. Can anybody help with a part number or somewhere that can source of the correct pipe?
Thanks
