I know the main pipes running over the engine bay are about £250 each but not sure if thats the pipe that your referring to.
Incidentially where did you get it filled?

Remove the left rear wheel, remove the fender liner (top part only) and you will be able to see the fittings that connects the two hoses from the engine compartment to the tubes that run forward to the dryer and condensor. They are easy to remove, there is also a double clamp on the firewall that needs to come off, and a bracket where the hoses go through the side of the engine compartment. Also make sure to clean around the unions before you take them apart, lots of dirt up there.
