Sent email to firm down Exeter way 2 weeks ago and oh so typical British customer service - yep yoo guessed it - no reply - so they can go whistle

I fitted a set of Goodridge braided hoses to one of my V70Rs... can't recall if it was the FWD one or the AWD one though sorry! They were a good quality set as you'd expect - I'll be fitting Goodridge hoses to my S70 next year.

I've found these guys to be helpful and reasonably priced -

I fitted Gòodrich hoses to the C70 last year and very impressed with them. They fitted perfectly without any hassle at all. I chose black hoses and stainless fittings, but could have chosen a different colour from a wide range. Ordered them via the internet and from memory I think they came via Demon Tweeks.

I've bought braided hoses for a number of cars over the years from Pirtek, I just got the stainless steel over ptfe ones but as they can make up hoses for all sorts of hydraulic applications they may be able to do other colour combinations.

As above:~
A descent hydraulics shop should be able to make up these lines without the retail middleman additions.

Much appreciated chaps

I have actually looked at DC and Demon tweeks for discs and pads but neither had hoses for the AWD - seems like a phone call is in order

Would never use Pirtek ever again. Took my pressure washer to them couple of years ago for an oil leak to be rectified at their Harlow branch, charged me 140 quid, came back with precisely same leak and no interest in putting it right / doing the work I had paid for

Would not trust them to strike a match as they cannot fit a gasket

One can only speak as one finds, at the local (MK) Pirtek branch the guy was excellent, very helpful and made what I needed quite quickly, but then thinking back I did check the web for a friend to find their local branch and some poor reviews came up, probably one of those businesses where the quality of the local staff can be highly variable.

Anybody any further recco on this one please ?

Not looked at the haudralic shop route yet but neither DT or DCP are able to supply for a 98 AWD

Though if I live in US and A I have 4 suppliers to choose from without even trying !!

[Bigfella666]

On the assumption they are the correct size as per assurance given, matter resolved by HEL whom I emailed originally and never received a response. Goodridge not interested in manufacturing to AWD spec for me - I can only assume hose is longer ?
