so how do I solve this ? I am sure parts may be gotten but dont know where to start...
or how much would it cost to have it done...I cant imagine it being a big job in all honesty...
I hope I have explained it right so it makes sense..
cheers in advance..

Good morning gg, go to a merchant and buy two flexible pipe to pipe connectors, cut the pipes just over length (taking a peice out of the middle) and connect the flexi, be careful not to get any kinks, or, buy flexible tap connectors, which are more expensive, and connect from taps to pipes, watch for ragged edges as they will split the rubber seals, kopex pipe slices are best for cutting, can lend you a pair if you close enough,
