Oi! :p Corroded brake pipes was the worst of it. Also brake lights not working, no washer jets (forgot I had the fibreglass vented jobby on - lucky I still have the std!), excessive play in both front suspension arm ball joints, headlight aim too low, & excessive movement in the NSF strut! Last jobs being sorted today hopefully. I think the brake pipes are gonna be a PITA - axle & fuel tank down possibly. :(

Ha ha. Ross mate you seem to be getting picked on in this thread :D

The rear brake lines shouldn't be too hard. I was having a look at mine just before my mot an I am sure you could replace them without dropping the subframe and definately without touching the tank:nod:

The ball joints will be the hardest part but even they aren't to bad with the right tools:)

Thanks for the sympathy, Chris! With Mikey's lack of grammar and punctuation in his sentences, I couldn't say for sure whether I was getting dissed or not.lol. :p

The work was being done by my mechanic, not me; I'm too busy with work at the mo. :smash:

Chriscooke

09-10-2009, 00:39

Owch. That doesn't sound cheap. Hope it's all sorted soon :thumbs:

dandanger

09-10-2009, 09:20

the guy i brought my car from had the rear break lines done by a garage and it cost a little over £100 to and i quote "manufacture and replace rear break line"

might be able to get there

Chriscooke

09-10-2009, 20:53

didnt db power put up a sale thread not so long back for full braided brake lines might be worth a look if its going to cost that much for one might be worth adding the extra and doing the whole lot ?

The lines are not that expensive mate:no: It's the labour that will go with fitting them, bleeding the brakes etc:nod:

Ross S14

09-10-2009, 23:46

All jobs done. :nod: New copper brake pipes fitted (cost £10), didn't need to drop the axle or fuel tank in the end. The front to rear one snapped in 2 as it was removed so yeah, pretty corroded. :rolleyes: Ball joints sorted pretty quickly as well. Ride height up 2" at the front now, Apex Gen2's adjusted and all looking good for Monday's MOT re-test. :) Might even get around to going down to Alan Jeffreys for the power map before she goes off the road for the winter, seeing as I've got my heat wrap sorted. :eek:

Ross S14

We'll definitely meet up for a Christmas meal - ought to start enquiries now really. Beefeater sounds good to me. I can make some calls around Plymouth eateries & organise it if people are happy with that being the area venue?
