Depends what MY your vehicle is. They changed the routing on later models to avoid the awkwardness of access. Not too bad once your in there bud, usual feeling when they look okay then crumble in your hands is ‘ I am now glad I got round to it’
same goes for pipes over rear axle - don’t try to rub it down or even glance in their general direction. If they are original just replace the pipes altogether

Early 97 it was registered. It's probably something i'd outsource to a more experienced party. I'm an engineer by trade but brake pipes is something i've not done enough of to be comfortable doing lol. When I had the fuel tank out they did look a little corroded but I know they're gonna need doing sooner rather than later.

Important thing with brakes is not to let the fluid go down at all if you can help it. getting air into the accumulator is something p38 owners have nightmares about

If your changing the brake pipes there are two straight connectors in the drivers wheel arch under the liner about were the pedels are when i did mine i made up two short bits with ends crimped, whipped out the pipes too be changed one by one and plugged with the short bits ran all the new stuff then just s swapped them over again quick that way you dont loose much fluid and have the hassle of Rave bleed procedure,
you can thread the new pipe in through the front over the chassis and down to the back in one then out drivers rear wheel area then back in over the crossmember to the other side and with a bit of fiddling get it back in the old clips but will cable ties to hold as the clips brake, then bleed as normal.

I just crimped the old pipe close to the connector then cut it,it stops fluid loss and you can use a double deep socket to remove it.

The simple ways are the best
on Grrrrrrr`s the connector was shot so we whipped the pipes out the abs block and plugged um quick so we could sort another connector

One second he'd grabbed my pipe and the next second he was wiping his face.

Bit like is an orange male or female, if it squirts in your eye without warning it's male if sometimes sweet but can be bitter and sour it's female.
Good job I don't like sweet and sour, only sourBit like is an orange male or female, if it squirts in your eye without warning it's male if sometimes sweet but can be bitter and sour it's female.
