You're welcome.  Unfortunately it's not sold separately by Ford.

If you measure the length and diameter, might be able to find an aftermarket part that fits.

Try looking on ebay for a silicon hose elbow, of the correct internal diameter.

How would one reach that pipe as its behind the engine

With great difficulty! You would probably have to get at it from underneath.

Hope you like the taste of antifreeze (I'm joking, don't get any in you, as it is poisonous)!

You can either go up from underneath.  Or remove the scuttle panels to go in from the top.

They didn't even bother naming that little bit separately. :laugh: 

The only option is to measure it and then look for an aftermarket hose the same size.  Alan's link gives various options for bend angle and pipe diameter.

If you get a 90 degree bend (looking at the picture this should be correct) in the correct size (measure the stub it fits onto using an open ended spanner), then trim the ends to the correct length.

As has been said previously, you won't get that part separately from Ford.

If you have a Pirtek shop locally they may have the correct size hose in stock to collect.  

Shower hose and garden hose will be too small in diameter.  The hose also needs to be reinforced to cope with around 1.5 bar of pressure and 90c of temperature.

You might be able to bypass the oil cooler for a short term fix.  Take the rubber hose from the other side of the cooler and connect that directly to the metal pipe as shown by the red line here:

The hose I linked to on ebay is a silicone rubber hose, which is better quality than the original hose, is reinforced, and suitable for replacing the hose which came off your car. Just be sure to order the correct size and angle (looks like a 90 degree bend to me).

I may be wrong, but I don't think it is possible to bypass the oil cooler as suggested earlier, because there is only the one hose to it. The other water connection to the cooler goes through the flange that fixes it to the engine. As I said, I might be wrong about this.
