Does anyone know a place that sells air intake hoses for the TD4 at a reasonable price. I did see a silicone set on ebay but then I saw the price!

Do you mean the turbo hoses or the large grey intake pipe from the driver's side wing?

If it's the turbo hoses got mine from dph on ebay just over 55 quid for 2. Not cheap but cheapest I could find and the quality is good too

I agree - DPH are good - but beware of needlessly buying a complete set of 5 hoses.

Check the DPH website direct as well as eBay.

I only fitted the set of 3 from the intercooler to the intake ducting/EGR.

The long 'S' pipe from the turbo to the intercooler doesn't seem so prone to failure.

The top ones were porous and splitting at 86K - but the 'S' pipe is still good at 110K

The fresh-air intake in heavy-duty 6mm thick silicone is way over the top for me - there is no pressure in that hose - so a lighter weight silicone hose is much better suited to that position and is much cheaper.

Try this one - enough for 2 - share with a friend!

Treat her to a full set , you get what you pay for

If you don't want to pay for silicon why don't you just fit standard replacements, they aren't dear and will last for several years & many 10K's of miles?
