theshadow Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 it seems ebay are cheaper on brake stuff,rear discs £20,pads genuine nissan £9.99,autodoc £33 for front discs/pads,so alot cheaper than euro..so it pays to look around..rear back box £30,have sprayed the brake bolts with wd 40,the 2 brake pipes mentioned light sanding down red lead will suffice..

Agreed, I got Mintex discs off eBay for the Alfa 147, half the price found anywhere else. Autodoc is good, if you’re prepared to wait for their (ever extending) delivery times. I’m not trying to tell you how to suck eggs but I’d be careful making a call on brake pipe corrosion. Sometimes it’s just easier to make new pipe sections and you’ll sleep easier as you know the job is done right.
