If anyones interested - I got a quote back from Gatwick this morning to sort the whole job - they're now saying that it only needs 2 larger hoses (£12 each), 4 smaller ones (couple of quid each) and the manifold gaskets to do it - they had a car in a week or so ago with the same issue. So they don't actually replace the metal fuel pipe after all - its just Subaru's service bulletin advises it??

The labour they charge to do the whole job was £216 inc vat and the quote including all parts came to £301 inc vat - which was less than i was expecting.
