OK, so contrary to what I said earlier, the hose/pipe is available, just over £100 from an agent in Germany, that sources from audi tradition, got one on the way.
I just want this thing to work
I'm taking the car off the road for a couple/three of weeks and will be driving around in a 1953 split screen Moggy Traveller in the mean time - can't be too comfy or will never go back
Job list while off the road:
All 4 front CV joints
Front strut mounts
Front bumpstops
Fix clutch hydraulics
Investigate clunk from rear suspension (probably drop link)
Check out propshaft and refurb if needed
Then a fresh MOT, followed by an alignment.
Only reason I'm taking it off the road is due to time to get the parts to me, otherwise I'd do it over a day/couple of evenings.
... And NO, this won't turn into a 5 year restoration project
