Where can you buy the other elements then for a DIY re-piping job? Then it would be useful. I've got a few metres worth that need replacing.

I'm guessing the pipe itself is standard stuff, not so sure about the seals, but if I win you can borrow the tool !

I've never made any Citroen pipes up, but I do have a flaring tool from Automec, so I guess you can buy the consumables from them. (yes, they sell 3.5mm and 4.5mm pipe in thick wall copper or copper nickel and fittings in brass)
