Thanks. Hopefully mine is the left one, now just need to find somewhere with one.
EDIT: Are XUD and HDI ones different? Because my current pipe is in 2 different pieces, so I don't know it's a half of one and half of the other.

I've never had a HDI bottom hose off, but as far as I can tell on SB they use a normal push on hose, where the XUD can use either of the push IN and o-ring hoses, earlier ones used the black plastic bti later ones the metal with the wire clip.

New pipe doesn't fit :/
Have a feeling it may be a HDi rad which would explain why the current pipe is 2 pieces joined together.

Yup it's a HDI rad IIRC as the DT donor one had an extra outlet we didn't have anything to blank it with. Hence having to join the HDI & DT.

We fitted an XUD into a HDI shell, using the HDI rad due to the XUD rad having outlets that we weren't able to blank, so joined the XUD lower hose from the block to the lower HDI hose.
This was what 3.5yrs ago so I'm going by memory..

ahh fair enough.
so you need a hdi pipe to cut in half it seems cheezy
