The car failed MOT on saturday there because
"rear springs insecure"
"front brake hose bulging"
I have the car with a mechanic at the minute gettin the work done, he is looking £80 for the job.
Is that price about right, just seems a wee bit on the expensive side.
How much is it usually for changing brake hoses?
Cheers

including parts??
you can get braided hoses for all 4 corners for £40 PLUS the rear spring insecure... did you just fit lowering springs?? sometimes they can come a bit loose when you jack the car up so knocks em out of alignment.

yeah springs come loose when jacked up, they cant do u for that as the car isnt jacked up when its moving is it lol, might be worthwhile attaching the ends with cable ties to stop em wobbling when jacked up

Yeah thats including the brake hoses Paul. I had just got the springs put in a couple of months ago, so I still have the originals.
Steve >> thats what I thot too mate but the MOT inspector thot different and in the end its what he says goes
So £80 isnt that bad then for the work?
