If you want to look for them the ref. codes are A100K0032F (feed) and B100K0033F (return) They are available at stockists but most people get new hoses made up using their old/existing fittings at their local hydraulic hose suppliers, usually for a fraction of the price of new ones
PS if you update your profile to show your location you might find that there is an LEC member near you who can advise on a local source

You got it. Newcastle. There is an excellent mechanic near you (Colin at Revline, Whitley Bay) who has his own garage business and also drives an M100 so has extensive, first hand knowledge of the model

SJS have them in stock. About £90 each if you include VAT and postage.
Try your local branch of Pirtek for the cheapo option

If you look at SJ's website sjsportscars.co.uk, both items have a photo showing what is supplied. You will then be able to see what else you need to either keep or replace.
