Brake Pipes?
Car failed MOT because of rear brake pipes, my fav machanic is on holiday and I can't trust anyone else.
Anybody successfully change their brake pipes and how did it go?
I've got pressure bleeding kit, copper pipe, tube nuts, and flaring kit but I really can not be a%^d to start the job, if it goes wrong I'm then stuffed.:no:

Job done.
It must be impossible to get the pipe runs exactly like the originals, looks like in factory they went on first before the subframes, not so easy with all the gear in place underneath.
Other than that it's an easy job, one thing that caught me out was on the ABS unit the "right" pipe has a M10 hose nut and the "left" pipe has a M12 hose nut. So make sure you have both types of hose nuts before starting the job, unlike me who had to salvage the old M12 nut which really anoys me as it's the only one used on the car, why couldn't they keep it all standard.
You should of seen the crap that came out with the old fluid, I'm gonna change my brake fluid every service now.
