I have an eas leak I think somewhere in valve block so want to change it for a refurbished one. With the temperature so low just now (-14?) forecast, am I likely to break the plastic pipes?

I would say its ok, they are made of very thick durable plastic, just make sure you push the mettle lug in holding it in, and PULL the pipe out don't jiggle it out

I changed ours out at -4C and the pipes were fine. As ^^^^^^, pull don’t jiggle. They will be stiff and unwilling to bend much.

I bought some spare pipe just in case.
