Mini Cooper S oil pipe

I have posted this on the mini 2 forum but suspect i will get a better response on here from all of you knowledgeable guys and gals.

I took my 2007 mini cooper s into the BMW garage today to have the water pump changed under warranty and the garage found an oil leak from the oil feed and return pipes to the turbo . They also found contamianation on 1 of the coolant hoses and charged me £125 in labour to change but anyway...

I would like to purchase a braided/uprated oil feed pipe but can't seem to find anywhere in the uk that stocks them, does anyone know of any companies within the uk that supply these lines?

thanks for the reply chaps.

I have sent 1320 an email so fingers crossed they have something in stock.

I was thinking of going down the route of having a hose custom made, I would just like to avoid measuring it up and choosing the fittings as i cant find anything that says what they are.

Iv no idea what the fittings are but if you take to a hardware store, ask them to identify sizes by trying nuts or bolts on ends etc. its what iv done in past. alternatively send to hose manufacturer to be copied in braided.
