Broken Pipe, No idea what for though

[reeksy86]

Hi All,

Tinkering about under the bonnet today, i have noticed that this pipe (in photo) has broken, could anyone shed some light as to what it is for, the car is running ok, although i do have a problem starting it now and again, it is like something is draining the battery, although this is intermittent, give it 10 seconds, and it starts fine again!

Any ideas?

looks like a vacuum pipe I'd fix that

ok, what would it be connected to then, It doesnt seem to make a difference to the car though, Would one of ebay be sufficent?

you just need some vacuum pipe, or even just cut the broken end off and re attach it. it is connected from your manifold to your fuel pressure regulator, so is quite important.

Its about £2 a yard from motor factor like zollaf says cut it cleanly and reattach it

Cool, thanks for the info, I'll pop into motor shop Monday and get it repaired.
