Help with part number please

[raymond]

My M is proving a troublesome child. I need help to get a part number for this U shaped pipe. Have tried several sites but unable to identify part number. Antifreeze coming out possibly due to wrong size clip but would like to replace the pipe.

Have found that one but it looks nothing like the part on the car.

Often the diagrams don't, and it's just a length of tubing to be cut to the right length. This is the case for example with the vacuum hoses.

I can guarantee that's the right one, but that's what I'd order. Here it is on (US) eBay

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/151042476163

Surely any piece of hose the right size would fit

Thanks for your input.Have ordered some smaller jubilee clips from Amazon prime to see if that will fix it. Halfords did not have the right size. The clip was far too big for the pipe which is probably why is was leaking.

That's a fair shout. Try some PTFE tape as a quick fix too
