  1. Hi all, Jumped into the car this morning, and it sputtered to a stop as soon as it fired up. Then took about 30-45 seconds of cranking before the car came back to life. It's been fine since, but a look in the engine bay is suggesting a possible cause: Signs of cracking around the rubber hoses for the feed. Most frighteningly: There's also cracking where the hose is connected to the hard line, right next to the exhaust manifold. Now, the labelling on the hoses must suggest they're the correct type, SAE J30R9. These were bought around September 2013, so a year and a half ago, as part of changing the fuel filter to a smaller one for ease of maintenance. It shouldn't be this soon for this happening? I bought the fuel hoses from eBay, so I'm thinking I bought some rubbish quality or even worse, simply relabelled of a different type. I don't know if there's any direct correlation between the state of these hoses and the troublesome starting of the car, but even so, these hoses need changing. Anyone know where to get a decent branded bunch? Quick googling hasn't returned anything definitive so far. Many thanks!
  2. I changed the injectors yesterday and as usual something else has cropped up..... Is this hose and the main hose from the fuel filter to the rail still avaliable ? What do people use as alternatives ? What sizes are the actual hoses as in diameters ?
