Regulator return pipe

I'm having trouble finding a part on service.citroen. It doesn't seem to be listing hydraulic circuit parts.

I need a small conical rubber pipe that comes from the accumulator/regulator, it is joined to a clear plastic pipe that goes off along the side of the engine, I assume it goes back to the tank.

The actual part or part number would be great, and is fairly urgent.

Many thanks.

The PRV V6 12v has two similar paired pipes that I had to replace on one of my cars Ray and both had press fit 'T' connections to vertical pipes against the bulkhead. In my case it was the clear plastic pipe that failed apparently due to heat and which one is yours? With regards, Matthew T.

After a bit of digging I've found it's called a 'ahem' accumulator low pressure return pipe...

I can't find any return piping for that location either, Ray.
Have looked on the Regulator pages, as well as Reservoir and Suspension.
If it's the equivalent of the rubber elbows (used on height correctors, etc) that joints metal spigot to plastic return pipe, could you not improvise something, with a bit of thick-walled rubber pipe? It's only low pressure.
Could you post a photo of the bit you need?

In this image it's the piece of rubber piping that 'appears' to have been cut.

That piece of rubber is not a cut off pipe Ray it is where the clear plastic connects with a push fit joint. I also reccomend replacement of the original clip with a jubilee but be careful if removing the rubber as the spigot is not strong and my original one broke off! Regards, Matthew T.

Edited Matthew to clarify!

Ah, so it is the rubber junction piece you need Ray, which I would guess is common to all XM and probably other cars including Xantia as well. I am sure that Paul must have a few dozen spare but do be careful with removal. With regards. Matthew T.

The plastic return pipe just push-fits into the rubber; the plastic usually has a raised ridge/olive moulded near its end to help it stay there. Low pressure, so not stressed.
