Hijet 1300 brake pipes

Submitted by altis on

Forum: 

Anyone had the brake pipes (front to rear) replaced on a Hijet 1300 EFi van? How much does it cost?

I've just blown one near the load sensor valve above the rear axle. Add to that a new rear section on the exhaust and, sadly, it may not be worth repairing this Oct 1999 LPG van even though it's in pretty good condition and only has about 60K on the clock.

Hi
I had all my brake pipes replaced (in Copper) for the MOT and it cost 65 pounds (last year)
Well worth doing even on a 99 Hijet

I wouldn't count new brake

I wouldn't count new brake pipes as "major repairs", the chassis needed patching is more serious...

You got ripped off, 285 is pretty high. I take it you won't be going back there?

Replace them all in copper or

Replace them all in copper or cupro-nickel, they will outlast the vehicle. All you will need to do is replace the brake fluid every two years as recommended by the manufacturers and eliminate the rusty brake pipe problem.
