If it's split near an end there may be enough give to chop off an inch or two and still be able to fit as a get-you-home bodge?

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

The hose is the same size each end so short term you may be able to find a straight hose in a local motor factors and bend it or B and B have one on eBay and they are usually quick at delivery
