There are two parts of hard line on the rear of these, one pair of long sections running from the front nearside wheel arch to the rear corners and then a short section of hard line strapped to the suspension arm between two flexible hoses. Easy enough job to replace, I've done mine while the car was on axle stands. |

These being mild steel are they shippable parts? |

Replace the original steel pipes with copper pipe and that should last the life of the car, then replace the flexi pipes with new from the MD or alike... |

That's what I thought but the local seems to think its not a standard set up? |

Appeared pretty standard to me. I'd have thought you can get steel sets from LR, or as Craig says us copper or cunifer. |

I read somewhere that you shouldn't use copper with antilock brakes as the pulsing can case harden the copper. Cunifer is fine apparently 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE
