Breaking 10 plate C5 Tourer HDI 160

Too nice to just scrap, Hydraulic suspension pipe has corroded through and replacement is £400 if you can find one!

Suggestions for best method to help other C5 owners welcome.

I almost scrapped mine, get in touch with memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=26813, The pipe that went on mine was the main pipe front to rear, Jay has developed a fix to replace as much of this pipe as required, I replaced just the back 4 feet, was a pain, took about a day, once you get the car up in air, I had mine on 3 ramps and an axle stand.
I repaired mine and sold it as I have paid a deposit for a replacement about 5 days before this option appeared.
Good luck
