On my 300 I replaced the pipes using a kit from Automec. All cut to size and all connectors attached. Was much easier thank I thought it would be.

Ordered from Automec today. Full hit, both pipes on rear axle, pipes for the front and the one that runs down the chassis rail (front/back) 1999 Defender TD5 110

can I suggest you soak the flex pipe joints from the chassis to the T connection on the rear axle with loads of WD40 or similar. Mine was a right sod to remove and undo
 , gave up in the end and bought a new flex pipe and T connector. BM52 |

Just to be clear i was referring to the chassis to T connection and not the one to the calipers.
A grinder became my friend on this job BM52 |
