I'm glad I know the MOT man sometimes. £75 for a brake line though!!? Is that a Brake Hose or Brakeline? Can understand the latter but not for a hose, They're like £8!

clutch cost me £180 fitted, and got throught the MOT with only the need for three brake lines at £30 each, with a free retest. so now, to the auto trader she goes.
