Internal Heater Pipes
I have been lucky to just be able to use my F daily for some time now. However I still have a minor water leak which appears to be from the internal heater pipes. I would like to know what involved in changing them. Thanks
Thank You

My heater pipes had sprung a leak too - and this is something that will become more common as the cheap crummy steel with wafer thin black paint corrodes. Get used to it folks!
Short of removing the rear subframe to feed the replacements through the bulkhead I 'Dremelled' off the rusted pipes and replaced the long sections with 19mm OD aluminium pipe. The rear hoses were fine but I replaced the front ones with 19mm ID rubber hose* (I'll double check the measurements)
I then cable tied these to the side of the tunnel.
So far, so good.
