Howdy folks ,i went to have a look at a T25 earlier unfortunately the plastic pipe that runs under the chassis and connects to the radiator had a small split in it and was leaking .so no test drive .Is it hard to source these or could I use some sort of repair paste/ something else. Thanks folks

If its the supply pipe from the rad to the engine, the rubber supply pipe is readily available in any motor factors. It needs a feed and return, so two pipes. I bought a full role for 25 euro, 6 months ago, for my 87 T25.

I dont know why hydrodare pipe is connected to the rad to be honest. If its the rad supply pipe, or return, it should be in standard automotive water supply pipe.

Hydrodare pipe can be bought in 6 metre lengths in a builders supply, if you do intend using it. Be careful as some suppliers will have both metric and imperial sizes in stock, which vary.
