172 sport - Fuel pipe leaking :-(

[TLS2]

Anyone know how big a job it is to change ?
The bit that's leaking just clips off, but where does the other end of the pipe go to ?

its not too hard to change, i think i've got a spare one somewhere

Thanks, but I'm in Switzerland(!)
I've got the part on order from the local Renault stealer. The bloke there said I needed a special tool to remove the old pipe / fit the new one, so couldn't do it myself.
Is that true ?

no! if you trace the line back under the chassis leg behind the wheel you'll find there's a connector there, you only have to replace from here forward

Cheers! Sounds like a 10 minute job (famous last words...)
Have a good weekend.

to get the old one out and replace will take a little time and pataince.
you also need to undo the top engine mount and jack up the engine that side i think.
good luck!
i had same prob but i managed to change just the red rubber seal inside!

you can do it without steve, but you're right its easier
