Well that's o/s/r brake hose changed ... Again original 8/1980 dated hoses... Biggest thing I noticed was that the internals of the old hoses has reduced the flow of fluid considerably compared to the new ones... That just leaves n/s/r for next weekend , I'm changing coolant right after MOT as I believe a run then a change with fresh would be the best idea...

:shock: Replacing rear hoses are defiantly a harder job than the fronts... That's for sure!!
