Does anyone know what the part number is for the large breather hose that runs from the fuel tank out to the wheel arch please?

Or if its discontinued, point me in the right direction for an adequate alternative replacement ?

Looking to drop the fuel tank soon

Many thanks

I think you'll find it's this one

Anyhow you can find all spare parts reference numbers on realoem, input your VIN number and away you go

Thanks for that mate. Yes I usually use real oem, the dealers like me as I usually go in armed with part numbers unless it's something im stuck on.

But was almost sure someone told me these hoses are nla so thought this the best place to ask thanks again

I can imagine lol. I'm dropping the whole fuel tank and rear beam soon wish me luck haha

Further to this ,. I replaced my hose last weekend , surprisingly with little fuss. No corrosion present except for staining between the steel cover and fixed bolts which secure it. I cleaned everything up and applied rust inhibitor then a coat of body coloured paint. To insert the replacement pipe was a little bit of a faff but with enough grease applied and perseverance it slid through perfectly (just make sure you give the pipe a blow through before reconnecting , this will remove any crud it may have picked up on its journey through the steel pipe). Whilst I was waiting to replace it I capped the vent pipe and found that it was difficult to fill the car with the pump at full flow, I've just topped it back up and everything back to normal with no cutoff at the pump
