Naturally I'm going to get it all fixed, however a quote from Summit to fix it was just shy of £800, so guess where I'm not going......... |
So, the Catch 22 is when you cover perfectly good brake lines with grease to prevent them from rusting you get an advisory that they are covered in grease and might be rusty. If you didn't cover them with grease, they probably WOULD be rusty. I think a leak would manifest itself for detection even with the lines greased.
Can you still buy brake pedal pads for these? This is a high mileage in the city issue and will likely become more common as time goes by.
