Anyone had this? see pics
Anyway could have been worse , happened holding the brakes in car park 3 miles from house so managed to tickle it home with caution.
Looked at it this morning and it seems the n/s rear cv ( and or boot) has rubbed through the flexi hose and sprung me a massive leak with loss of brake pressure .
To my knowledge nothing has been changed down here except the ebc discs and pads which require caliper and bracket removal but the hose position has never been changed and there are no missing brackets.
Car is on original s line suspension.
Worth a look for owners to reach down behind caliper and feel under hose for signs of rub through at drive shaft, if DIY or at least ask garage to check it next time its in for something as its easily missed ( my car passed mot last month (120 miles ago).
So im off to look for 2 rear hoses and its a good opportunity ( snide time of year) to change the brake fluid
I will update a better pic when stripped as im as well leaving as is for now until i get the new hoses.
