    C70 Braided Brakes hoses ...

    The front brake flexi hoses on our 99 plate C70 T5 could be doing with being replaced so i thought about upgrading to some braided items. I see PFV have some available for my model and was wondering if anybody has used them and what they think and did they fit ok ? ...

    Thanks

    I bought mine of Hamish but I guess he still has them on the shelf. They are not difficult to find (or fit, assuming you can bleed brakes). Also depending on the age of your brake fluid it may stand you well to flush/bleed the whole lot.

    Cheers Dave.
    Brake fluid is spot on, i just had it recently replaced on its last service. Our C70 is well pampered im glad to say ...
