Failed the MOT on the corrosion of the rear flexible brake hose joints.
Can't be much different to last year as only managed 500 miles and spends it's time in the garage.

Anyone suggest a good place to get the brakehoses from?
I'll add this to the to do list

Probably keep it off road for the foreseeable future as extending house in 3 weeks and having to move out. ALl time will be spent re-decorating til july probably :(

Anywhere that does parts for european cars will do the hoses i'd have thought. GSF or Europarts are the biggest.

If they can't help Promax would be my next port of call.

I think you're better off fitting stainless braided hoses such a those from Goodridge, etc.

They're no more expensive than the original rubber ones and should last longer and perform better (and look nicer :wink: ). Even if you buy a set and just change the rears for the MoT you're probably better off...

I have a pair of new stainless hoses for early cars here. £25 posted to you.
