RE: [doc] OT - MOT for small hatch backs...

["Richard Hanlon" <rahanlon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was recently quoted £110 for a total of four new brake pipes for the other 
half's Micra.  Then tried the car spares shop - they make them up for 
75p/foot plus 25p each for the end fittings.  Then you have to bend 'em to 
shape, screw the ends in, bleed beakes and check for drips.  Still needed a 
total of about 20 feet though, plus six end fittings, (£17.40) total and £4 
for a new bottle of brake fluid.

Plus, the new pipes are copper, so shouldn't rust again...

You probably didn't pay over the odds, in all honesty.
