Oh my poor brakes

BanditPat · Jan 6th, 2011, 17:01

Had a nice drive home with no brakes last night because my brake hose has split, its the bit that runs to the back of the car from im assuming the resivoir. Does any one know how fidly its going to be to change and how much the replacement part will cost? A phone call to volvo and they said that its £43 which i thought was a bit pricey my self. Does any one know the part number or a site that i could get one a bit cheaper? Thanks

If its the metal piping, just pay the fifty. It comes on a roll and is not that easy to bend yourself
