  1. Hello All, I was quite surprised this month, the 21 year old Disco sailed through it's MOT without so much as an advisory. However, one thing was identified for investigation. When you push the rubber brake hose(s) towards the spring(s) there are pinch marks on the hoses that align exactly to the spring coils, i.e. two of them on each hose. Now, pinches on the hose could be as a result of brake work, but it is curious that there are two, and they line up with the springs. I'll try and sort a photo to clarify. The MOT chap suggested that it looked like the hose had been squashed by the spring, but I can't see how it might happen. Anyway, my immediate thought was to replace them with Goodridge ones from Paddocks as they seem good value. Is there a consensus on here (is there ever?) re. braided hoses? Thanks, Scott

  2. I bought an Octavia estate "while I'm building the ibex" best car I've ever owned it cost £500 ran beautifully, never broke down and did everything it was supposed to and........I absolutely hated it for all those reasons. So now we have a 33 year old 110 that leaks like a sieve and I need to do a prop after a trip to Wales. I couldn't be happier!?!? Mike
