Oh Well!

After 5 years of trouble free motoring using the Z as a daily drive it's failed the MOT for brake pipes.

Took it to my usual friendly(seem to have a bit of interest in cars) MOT station only to discover that the guy who ran it has sold up to some bunch that want to make some money flogging repairs and tyres.

It failed on corroded brake pipes, although I think they probably mistook some of the brake pipes for power steering pipes as a few days later they started leaking power steering fluid!

So it's Z off road, do the job right, replace all the brake pipes and power steering pipes!

Looked at it decided it's not a weekend job so have bought a super duper '98 Honda Accord 1.8 to see me through. Happy days.

Probably just make up the brake pipes in copper myself, don't know exactly at the moment what I need for the power steering pipes but I'll either make them myself or get a hydraulics supplier to make them.

I've got 2 Z's so will probably make (or get made) 2 full sets of replacement brake pipes/power steering pipes would anyone else be interested in a set( note:this is really a very speculative thing at the moment,I need to get this done so I'm assuming others do also)?
