Brake pipes are always an issue at MOT time but its good to be sure they are ok in-between MOT's also, a sudden loss of brake fluid and very poor foot pedal on this zed was quickly traced to a very corroded rear pipe that had just let go. Interestingly it and the other pipes seem to have corroded much worse where the fixing clips are, for some odd reason the normal pipe anti corrosion coating is not applied at these points, so for that reason alone this particular points need inspection more frequently.

 

As it happens the rest of the pipes also need changing to put this right, a fair bit of wedge when its not expected, oh well to joys of zeds eh ?

Not a very nice picture at all.

thats exactly what happened to my old zed, had them all replaced

I got an advisory on this problem in february at mot time, and to be honest I don't really want to look (I know I should) I have heard its a lot of work..........
