Do you mean the rubber hoses?
If so its standard 1/2" heater hose avail from almost anywhere... most
garages even have a stash.

No not the rubber hoses but little metal pipes that screw on to the heater
matrix

Hi
Follow up to my original post. Have managed to locate the two 'pipes' from
a very nice man at a Mini spares breaker in Doncaster. I have now found out
that I should have bought the matrix from a Rover dealer then the pipes
would have been included in the part because they are not available
separately. Hey ho - you live and learn.

Thanks to all
