| Well thought id sort the rear brake pipe out as it failed MoT on a bust pipe. It bust on the ramp which is a good thing. Took wheel off and went to undo the nuts on the pipe, rock solid. Heat went on when my neighbour got back in, it started turning and has stripped from the flexi. So I have no brakes and need to get the car to pity me so Mark can lift it up, replace break pipe and flexi. This car dont like me. Id like to meet the prick who replaced 3 pipes and left the rear 1 alone. So its for sale status is withheld at the moment til its drivable. | |

| Cant stick, the rear pipe is the copper 1 which goes to the flexi. Its snapped off and all the fluid has peex out. Ill have to drive it and use the handbrake to slow/stop. | |

| Bend the copper pipe over and use a hammer to hit it flat to stop it leaking and the bleed the rest if the brakes so you have still got some to use. I have had to do it a few time before so I could drive a car to a garage cos I don't think a handbrake is going work too well to stop. | |

| Nice sounds like that us going to be fun to change. If you know which pipe it is you could always do it before it . foes behind the fuel tank. Just that using just the handbrake may force the cable to snap then you are going to be really screwed | |
