You should just need a new pipe seal- its probably leaking because its been overtightened in the past.
They cost pennies -check the size of the pipe and then go to the online shop.
Depressurise the system, undo the joint, and the old one may come out with the pipe or you may need to winkle it with a pin-when you tighten it its dainty fingers...

Is the F strut spec/design the same for a 97 (2.0 VSX) that I’d like to use on a 95 (2.0 VSX)? - or am I missing something obvious?

The pipe you show is on the extra fuel device on the pump, the purpose of which is to increase the fuelling in response to boost pressure. Without it the engine gets no benefit from the boost as the turbo is simply pumping loads of air into the engine and the fuel is the same as for no boost.

Where does the connection to the boost input on top of the injection pump come from (XUD9TE engine, bosch pump)? Anywhere in the pipe between the turbo output and the intercooler, or the intercooler and the inlet manifold, or before the turbo (I presume not).

If you measure the battery voltage with the car off..say 12.8 volts, then every glow plug drops this voltage by 0.25 v when the plugs are on preheat. So your voltage should read 11.8 v and then rise to about 12.3 after the relay times out. If one of your plugs is faulty, this change is measurable by this method and is very reliable. It helps to...

May be the grommets have melted due to contamination with some fluid? You know like latex gloves fall off in shreds when they get covered in thinners.
The solution is probably just renew the cable.

You can find specifications somewhere on this website
Activa uses equal suspension spheres as hydractive models (VSX, Exclusive) + two additional accumulator type spheres for anti-sway system - multilayer 450 ccm 45 bar front corner spheres, 400 ccm 30 bar rear (not sure whether it's 40 bar for estate or not) etc.
