Finally found a fix, went to Pirtek and got a small section of high pressure hose, two jubilee clips and a copper hose to hose joiner.
Basically my mechanic slid the hose over the offending hole and as far down the pipe as possible and joined the opposing end with the oem rubber section (which needed trimming slightly) and it seems to have worked.
So after being off the road for a long time I was pleased to get back driving it today.
This is a fix an L322 breaker I found recommended as he’s done it without any issues multiple times. Guess it’s only possible if you have a leak in the sort of area I did (see below)
