Unbelievably I'm still trying to find the correct part.
Long story short I had to open a Paypal dispute to get my money back. The company would not budge, it was the correct part because their computer said it was.

Anyway I've ordered the part again, from somewhere else and unbelievably think I still have the incorrect part. I'll include below photos of the packaging. Going by the diagram above it looks like they have sold me a FRONT RIGHT hose and not a REAR RIGHT hose. Can someone just confirm?

Yep, that looks like a front with the block on the inboard end and a banjo on the other.

You're not having a lot of luck with this  :(  ...are you certain you need one?

Well I've given up. I've tried to get one everywhere. They're either out of stock or they're the wrong part incorrectly listed. You try to tell them but get no where, they just don't care. The last one in the picture is from Eurocarparts. I took it back and said it was the wrong part, so the guy asks for my number plate, looks it up and says completely dead pan "It's the correct part for your car". While looking at me like I'm the idiot. Not at all helpful to try and solve the issue and find the correct part. He had already decided it was my mistake. Same as the eBay seller. Really bloody annoying! Just to put the icing on the cake I've recently ordered some new drop links (listed as being for my car) only to find out they might be the wrong parts too!

Anyway. I'm waiting for the help of a friend and will attempt to change the caliper and flush the brake fluid through. Hopefully the original hose will be good.

"It's the correct part for your car" - yes, but the wrong bloody end!

I couldn't find anywhere that had them in stock either. If I was desperate, I would probably try the local motor factor who has a Febi account, see if they can order one off the Febi/Blueprint part number - I've done that before with obscure parts. There might be none in the country though... so it might be main dealer only at the moment  :-X

Ours is a couple of years newer, but big miles, all the hoses look good. I'm guessing yours will be fine too, fingers crossed.

Yes, there are two sorts, you should need the later ones with the small offset, not the ones that look like the joints are roughly at right angles.
