The brake pipe corrosion on mine was not as bad as yours. Mine all looked ok but the flare nuts would not turn. Gentle heat was enough to soften the plastic. Metal underneath was OK. Too much heat would have done more harm than good.
Yours look beyond repair with all that bubbling. So removal is easy. :devil:
Braided lines costs are probably a bit more money but it's job done for good. Phone HEL to ask. No need for me to tell you what to do.
With braided on the back only, the brake pedal feel is the same as OEM. The pedal will feel hard only if you replace all hoses on the car. It's like a motorbike with no sponginess at start of travel. I now prefer the feel to standard on our other Panda.
Stopping effort is the same either way.

) is a bit too fluid but would do the job. The 1.2 has now done 2 winters like that and all is fine. The MOT tester is also happy.
