That's a bit fail on the price of the braces. On my HDi the figure of 8 that retains the drivers side cable has decided to separate in two, so you can see my handbrake cable dangling and there is nowt to cable tie it to! Shall be chemical metalling that back together then! :p

Tonight I just finished off the front end having changed over the brake hoses by bleeding the front lines. Fluid didn't look too bad actually. Fitted the arch liners, turned the car around, pedal wasn't really spongy at all which is good, then backed it into the garage to look at the rear lines.

Drivers side hose union seems to want to take the pipe with it, even though the union has split. Not sure what else to do with that really, just wirebrushed the hell out of it and soaked it in plus gas a few times. The compensator side union split no issue. Don't want to be heating it up as it's a bit close to the petrol tank for my liking. Worst case i'll cut it off and get the factors to copy it, but that's a delay I don't really need tbh.

Will see how it plays ball tomorrow. Fitted all my new brake line clips anyway - what on earth posessed the previous owner to push them all through i'll never know - brake lines, abs sensors, fuel lines the whole shabang. Fortunately the ABS sensors and fuel lines just clipped back in.
