Well yet another one has come round, so took it in and pretty much everything was ok barring the usual crap brake line just by the rear subby connector (yeah i know i should have checked it lol) but being as i got sent home early decided to drop in anyway, and yes the chap failed it, so trotted off home, bought myself some brake line and fittings as i'd ran out, yesterday i jacked it up and had a good look and yup 2" section looked a bit scabby, so contemplated replacing it and figured as before that its a pig of a job, so set to it with some emery and hey presto it came up a treat lol, popped back down the station and picked up me ticket ;-) woop woop, will replace it in the summer anyways as i plan on doing the rear galv subby thing, so new brake pipes and tank straps etc will get done anyway ;-)
