...needed to have two rear brake hoses changed, one changed okay but unable to replace the other as the connector to the steel pipe is solid with rust.
When the garage inspected the whole of the steel line he said it was in a truly bad state and will need changing and the rub is it is one complete pipe from the rear to the brake unit under the bonnet and to replace is a dog of a job, which he will do with copper pipe.
He is estimating a good half days work could be more, thank goodness he does not charge MB rates and the total estimate is working out at around £250 +VAT and any clips etc that break off as they do the work so I guess my budget has to be around £300.
How does that sound guru's of knowledge.
