Same happened to me today. Wrapped quite a bit of PTFE over the pin head hole and an additional 1 inch either side (seemed suitably flexible for the type of tube) and then finished with gaffer tape. May not last long but will see. If it fails, will get a tube connector from Halfords.

Mine did this. I bought some heat shrink, fed it over the break, used a soldering iron to shrink wrap it on. Perfect, has held up 6 months so far.

I have done the same as chino about 3 years ago and its still good. i also bought the pipe with the intention of replacing it. However its just not possible as far as I can see. I still have the proper part if you want to give it a go.

Thanks for replies. As soon as it fails, I'll try the heat shrink. You got access to the tube by removing at the jet I suppose?

I unplugged the jet under the bonnet and fed the heatshrink over from there. As said, the pipe feeds down under the scuttle panel etc, looks quite involved to fully replace it.
