hey everyone, ive got the dreaded fuel leak and my car stinks of fuel every startup. could anyone tell me what id hose i need to buy? cheers :-)

Think it was 8mm high pressure fuel hose. You can find it at Halfords.

before you go out and buy some fuel hose, make sure all the fuel clips are tight, it's quite a common problem with the zeds for the clips to become loose. just follow the track of the fuel lines and tighten every clip as you go, there are quite a few of them in fiddly places but, they can all be got at

I think its not so much that the clips come loose it is more that rubber ages and shrinks and hardens then the clips loose the grip they had. You can certainly tighten them all but also look for perishing cracks and especially tighten the one directly under the fuel pressure regulator leading from it to the fuel rail below it. Its the most likely leaker because it never gets checked because you cant see it without taking off the cover on the plenum over the throttle cables.
