Hi, so the hose that leads from the back of my dryer to the internal water tank has cracked and split. Hotpoint seem to want £13 for this (not sure if that includes post), which seems rather dear to me. 
Is there such a thing as a generic option, it's a tiny white flexible pipe! 
Dryer model TDWSF 83BEP (UK) 
part number J00217377
Thank you for any help.

    Similar price on espares. Can't see you getting one for much less tbh.

    Go to B&Q and buy a length of clear pipe of the correct diameter, ( I’m assuming you have a condenser dryer)

    Absolutely. If the hose diameter is a little smaller than needed, heat it a little with a heatgun or in boiling watter before fitting.
