that's all good but this is going to be an expensive lesson learned
if I was a few quid - ok fine, but I don't think im going to see any change out of £200 - £250 and that is only the garage charges!! not including the £30 for new hose and ive just paid £20 for a 2nd hand hose from someone on the internet.
the hydraulics place disposed of the old pipe
and I have invoices for everything done and a break down of the garage charges and the place in newton said they would supply a detailed explanation of why the pipe was there and what work they have done.
so pushing £300 for what was supposed to be a simple job
and im going to have to pay to have this pipe fitted when it arrives and also assuming theres not damage to the rack, pump etc at the end of it
