local help needed
 

Right my Scottish chums the car has failed it's mot on a corroded nearside rear brake line ,so does anyone know somewhere I can either buy the bits or have it repaired?obviously cost is my main restriction.cheers in advance lads.

Not local I know but this may help. You can buy coils of copper pipe and fittings to make your own sections. So I'm sure there will be someone near you with the kit to assist.

I keep a coil, plus fittings and a flaring kit for such matters, didn't cost much. Bought the tools from Screwfix and bits from the local motor factors.

Cheers Mick.hopefully someone can help out quickly.tester was good about it he said he will retest for free because it failed on something so small.

Pity I'm not local eh! Would have done it for you mate.

see goldie mate

Yup - what he says..

I will message him.but my problem.is I need it done asap and I know how busy he is.

Kev and myself did the brake lines on the Scrote and his Arsetra mate, very simple and should be cheap enough, if you can get a shotty of a flaring tool?!?! we had the benefit of a ramp which makes things easier but sure you could manage it with help:)
Wasn't dear at least, just the cost of brake fluid, piping and unions nuts etc. Kev be better at letting you know what exactly things are called lol :D

Cheers Gary have done the job on other cars before but it's the getting shot of a flaring tool.that would be the problem mate.

think the nearside one you may be able to get away with not taking the tank out, it kinda runs over it, kinda awkward one to do tbh, would want a ramp to do one, may be esiest to piece in the piece required but then you need an on car flaring tool, plus the steel pipes are a lot harder to flare in the first place compared to the copper, miost garages will take an hours labour to do a brake pipe
