Technical Break lines/Hoses incorrect assembly.

[rorymn]

Hi People, new here for this reason no more googling can be done, there is nothing I can find out about this problem.

The car failed the NCT/MOT on a few things but we got everything done and working as good as new again, just this one thing we can not get our heads around, we got a fail on this..

"Break Lines/Hoses (47) Flexible Break pipe incorrect assy OffsideFront and NearsideFront"

I have no idea, the break lines are working fine and there is no problem?:bang:

Does anyone have any ideas?

I can post pictures if needed!

Thank you in advance for any help given!

Pic please. All I can come up with OTTOMH is that the hose isn't retained either by the clip at the top or the grommet thing on the strut.

your hoses should look like my picture otherwise they rub through and or stretch causing no brakes
you have a proper tester there thank him

It appears the hoses point the wrong way ie they are pointing hub to hub they should be as s+b showed up and down

Suspension replacment has meant they didnt refit the much neede clamps to make it hub to hub

you'll struggle - your missing 2x brackets which allow for this

You need to visit a scrappy and see if you can pull them off

They seize and rot together - so many people simple snap them off
Dont bother redrilling the brackets bolt hole and sticking a fresh nut and bolt in

As a result - you end up with your problem

Trust Me and S+B you are seriously risking your life

I had 1 side like yours, it ruptured 1 hose, rubbed another hose to the cords which would burst at some point

Stopping from 80mph, downhill towards a redlight - IS NOT a fun experience, more like lumpy pants

This thread has pictures of the wrong and right way.Note the wire retaining clips.
As said earlier the tester did you a big favour

Go down to post #29 onwards for the right way.

im affraid not, its not something i took pictures off - i was in a hurry to be back on the road

Its when i brought my first flare spanners too!

Anyway
i knew it'd rubbed a little - and 1 day a heavy braking session and Bang (pedal drops to floor) and you are left with little braking, you still get that 50% one hit stopping power due to the tandem m.cylinder but still....

i didnt know that because i had the missing mount - that was the cause of the rubbing
Eitherway, i fitted a new one, none the wiser - and MOT time, it failed AGAIN because it had been rubbing...

Annoying i replaced it, found the rot was bad and ended up waving Bye Bye to it
