found small split at end of 1 hose where it connects to nipple on passenger wheel , seems ok now ( hopefully !! )out on sunday on a trip with 3 others , after that , have time for a proper look over it , never realised how many hoses etc make it work , all seem secure
If i decide to replace all hoses etc , is it 3mm or 4mm internal diameter hose that fits the nipples on the car ?

another option is to just ditch the vacuum system so this never happens again and go to manual hubs. Can be as cheap as $100

question now , if i remove bolt , will collar stay in locked position as there is no vacuum to release it or will movement etc cause it to slide to unlocked ?
I know the " proper " system only uses vacuum to lock / unlock so thinking it will stay in place with no bolt ?
as i needed quick fix , i drilled hole in front hubs and screwed in a 20mm bolt to push the sliding collar into locked position , worked a treatIt's 4mm hose you need. I've used pvc aquarium hose - it was £7 for 10m. I've routed it down the brake hoses rather than along the axle so it is well out of harms way. It's only 2 hoses to each hub- not complicated at all really.
