Brake pipe failure
#3
It was the last piece of solid brake line to the rear offside caliper. It was a steel one, probably original. At some point it had a slight kink put in it n think that had split the plastic coating. It seemed to have corroded behind the coating n looked fine but of course wasn't. Explains why it wasn't picked up on Most I guess. Replaced with cupro-nickel so should be good for the remainder of the cars life.

I've noticed that a few 306's have had both the final solid lines to the rear calipers replaced so they must be more vulnerable than some of the others.

Btw, must be one of the flexi hoses they're talking about on your cabrio.
