I live in sunny South Africa, so would like to join the two rubber water hoses together with a piece of piping. What piping would be good to use, and what diameter pipe should i use? By the way, the engine is a 318i M40. Any suggestions ?

I would imagine a small piece of microbore would do the job.

Got any plumber mates?

I don't mean to sound stupid, but I'm assuming microbore is some sort of pipe?

It's a class of copper plumbing pipe.
