A picture is gonna be your best bet here fella but at a long shot, i'm guessing your talking about a fuel feed/return line - both are less than a meter in length and can be purchased easily enough from any motor factors by the meter.

Sounds very much like a rubber fuel pipe - quite common for the to crack after time.

If it is then they'll be 2 of them, one runs to the fuel rail which in turn feeds the fuel injectors the other runs from the fuel preasure regulator (round Black object on the end of the rail) back to the fuel tank.

Fuel line can be purchased at any motor factor shop - i used "Halfords" when i done the lines on my Tourer.

Hope this helps you out fella, Neil.
