I've got a leaking 'octopus' return pipe on my 89 16rs right near the pipe manifold below the front height corrector.
I might have disturbed it changing a suspension pipe there.
Can anyone recommend who to purchase a replacement assembly from for quality and price please. I appreciate cost and availability might be a lot different than in 2016
Thanks

There's this on eBay, not sure if it's what you need, not cheap either.

Thanks Panky.
That one states for power steering which mine doesn't have.
I think Chevronics are remanufacturing them and say compatibile with all apart from 4x4.
They do a bundle with the other height corrector return pipes.
I watched a great clip on changing them posted by up and down who recommends I changing both sets.
They are very expensive though so will have to wait till pay day next month.
