Looking through the service log - mine were done around 2009 (@ 64000 miles), car was new 2002 so 7 years sounds about right for yours Howard

Had mine MOT'd on Monday and they had to replace all pipes, thats the second time in 120K miles they did need replacing

I use to like this forum PMSL.

ok so whats the general concensus on labour and total price for a independent garage to do them.

Its not unheard of, but if your having doubts, get it looked at elsewhere, but that will cost pennies.

I've heard that council run MOT stations can be considered trustworthy, as they don't do repairs so no commercial gain,but i'm happy with my indy  GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

Salb, I had the following done;

Front drop links, front bushes, o/s front susp airbag, all brake pipes, front pads.

Dont know the individual cost of pipes

Thank you guys,

Just stumped me as I'm always on this forum, the usual tv's on in the background

daughter on the iPad, mrs in kitchen and I'm on the settee reading.

But never saw a post on brake lines, they have said they will put it up on the ramp to show me.

When you get them done, get them to use Cuprinol pipe it is an alloy of copper and nickel and will never rust, they can remove the old pipes, make up pipes the same length and replace them easily, that way it's done for life... Pete

Too late, I've gone and bought a load to replace my brake lines.

I don't even have a wooden fence.
