I have a 55 plate 1.9d van, owned it from new and its still running.
Just failed it Mot last week on a corroded brake line. This was the one connected to the brake cylinder on the rear nearside wheel its just a short pipe which comes from the hub and connects to a flexible hose at the other side of the rear axle. The garage which did the mot replaced the pipe and also the same pipe on the other side of the van, as it was not much better than the one which caused the failure.
When I got the van back and had a look underneath, the routing of the replacement pipes does not look too good.
Would anyone be kind enough to take a picture of both brake drums, looking from under the back bumper. I would like to see the way these pipes fit correctly before I get back onto the garage.
