Is it one is these...

Is it this one?

Or this one?

Thanks for any help.

I'm currently inclining towards getting both and doing them at the same time!

My mechanic had a look today and reckons he can cut the pipe and join the ends with an appropriate hose. Save the hassle of re-fitting the pipe. Wise move or not?

its the 1st one you listed above. some have patched it but jubilee clips will leak when the cold weather comes, and the hot cold cycle temps become greater, i would replace. ive done a few and it isnt that hard.

That is a new one on me , having fitted/used heaps of Jubilee clips and never experienced this problem,and that is mainly in SCOTLAND.
Its maybe in the water.
