Does any one know where i can get replacement Scorpio oil Cooler Pipes picture found here http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/coolerpipes.htm as i live in Kent i am trolling the breakers yards but with no luck so far, if you know where i can get a new set that would be fine, the ones i have have a split in them, and despite a temporary repair with some PTFE and Jubilee Clips it is still spraying all over the under body, many thanks Mike, ps remember i know nothing about cars, just love my Scorpio ;)

If the metal pipes have rusted through cut the bad bit out with a plumbers pipe cutter (gives a nice clean cut) and fit a bit of 9mm petrol pipe held with 2 jubilee clips at each end between the two pieces of pipe, this repair is quite acceptable as there is no real pressure in the pipes. I did this with mine not so long ago and no problems since.
As for getting others have you tried fordparts uk, last time I was checking things out the short pipe was about £28 brand new, don't know about the long one though.

Thanks folks, no luck so far, have done a bodge repair for now and reduced the leak to a dribble, but i did find four semi new tyres, fitted for £80 and these people have loads of spares, not a big company but breaking stuff every day so may be worth giving them a ring if you need bits "Detling Car Breakers"

As the ATF pressure is fairly low ( I think  ) on entrance and exit of the cooler, it's fairly easy to cut out the rusty/ leaky bits and rig up replacement lengths utilising jubilee clips and plastic petrol pipe/ aluminium piping.

Nice one Den, that was my steady supply of parts & now you've revealed it to the masses  .....
The whole lot will be stripped bare by the morning, mark my words  .......It'll be like feeding time in the piranha pool ..........

Hi, in the end all it needed was PTFE and a Jubilee Clip round the split, no doubt if the split is bigger than mine was/is just try with two clips, since this repair it has been fine and done a thousand miles plus some of that towing a caravan, and not one drop of oil lost, i will try and upload a photo later this morning showing the repair, catch you later good luck Mike.
