Guy went through all the test, did the inspection step and all. He arrived out and it was a fail - passenger front brake pipe burst during the brake test!
I put these steel braided pipes on the car 3.5 years ago (checked my log book) and they've been fine.I must take a pic of it but from the top the pipe is dusty for the first couple of inches, and then it's wet from the fluid below that. There was a bit of a puddle under the car outside the NCT centre when I eventually got it collected, just spraying out.
A bit surprised, didn't think that'd happen with the steel braided pipes.
So, got it brought home on the back of a truck a couple of hours later.
I've ordered new braided hoses, going to replace the lot.
On the upside, probably the best place for it to happen rather than in the middle of spirited driving on country roads or worse!
Oh ya, if you ever need a low loader in Cork, give Gerry O'Sullivan in Ardfallen motors a call. Guy was excellent, came over to Blarney 30 minutes after calling him, and price (95 euro) was pretty reasonable considering it was a Sunday and everything.
