Was there any noticeable symptoms of the vac leak? Did you notice any difference in your brakes after fixing it?

I had to replace this pipe on my car a few weeks back. It had started to perish and split in quite a few places. Its only around £25 ish.

have you got a part number please Alex? the pipe seems ok on mine its just the rubber was a bit squashed where it joins to the vac pump, so ive turned it and it seems to have stopped for now.
but for the sake of £25 ill put a new 1 on

That pipe is the vacuum supply fitted to the servo from the cylinder head, they have a bad tendancy to crack due to the temperatures of some of the components round it!!
