Which ones are you talking about?
Is it the fuel filler pipes at the very rear of the car?

Is it the pipes that aren't coated in rubber behind the passenger rear wheel?

Yes mate metal ends then go into plastic then back to metal I think

If it's everything after the metal lines that run the length of the car, you can just replace those with rubber fuel pipe and jubilee clips. It'll cost you less than 20 quid.

Ive seen at least two ludes fixed this way.

I have also repaired mine this way. 7mm rubber fuel hose (I think) and a couple of jubilee clips for each pipe did the trick.

Mine were made apparent to me when one of the rear brake pipes split and I took it in to a garage to replace. They wouldn't work on it unless the fuel pipes were fixed - health and safety and all that. So took it home and fixed it myself.

Yup. That's how I fixed it on my old Prelude. 7mm fuel hose and small jubilee clips.
