so i swopped that over with the spare i had, and the car fired into life!
but guess what has just happened, when i took the car for a test run and to give it some fuel,
the brakes failed on the car! so i pulls over and has a look underneath, and to find my driver side braided hose has failed!!!!!!! :mad:
FFS!!! the car has done f*ck all miles!! so either the front hub has caused the hose to push into the driver side subframe over who knows! as the hose is f*cking well shot!
i did route it like the old one was too, to make sure it was ok.

no way and hell am i forking out another 76 odd quid for another set, that can f*ck off!
as its funny how the OEM hoses didn't fail, but just down the road, this has gone! :mad:
not worth the paper they are written on sadly this braided hose shite, if the fail that easy!
i have two front hubs on the way so we should be in business, aswell as a new starter pack and two new battery leads,
