need help asap trying to connect up all the wires/hoses but there seems to be quiet a few differences such as fuel line ends. not much space down the back to get the hoses all reconnected in the right place either. help and advice required

the 2 breather pipes that come off the top of the head gasket, smaller one goes to the air inlet thing, where does the bigger one of the 2 go?

nah its an oil pipe... the heater matrix is water....

the heater pipes come off the larger water pipe that goes from the back of the water pump to the bottom of your radiator....

on my C16XE the heater matrix pipe on the right as you look at the bulkhead was plumbed into the system round the back some how, i had this pipe burst on mine and when i had it replaced they said it was all bodged round the back so the replacment pipe wouldnt fit any way, im sure 3 pipes join into one round here some where to confuse matters worse

trying to remember..... em.. theres a rubber hose coming from the back of the water pump. this is then joined to a plastic pipe that has 3 small holes to connect 3 small pipes... 2 of them go to the heater inlet/outlet and the other goes to the bottom of the header tank.

the other end of the plastic pipe is conected to another big rubber hose that goes to the bottom of the radiator....

got all the heater matrix sorted and just found where the breather hose has supposed to go, all makes sense when i look at the burst pipe i have and where it shoulod go. However it is all rubber the full thing, def that pipe to as it smells of oil n is the right shape.
do u think i could get one at the likes of part co?
