Safety Notice

[scoobster]

Just thought i would post up a little safety notice!!! not sure if this is a common thing with FD but i have just had the car out this morning just to find i had no brakes  well anyway got the car to stop (eventually) and found that the hose to the brake servo had split clean in half

I was out in the car yesterday and all was fine so it didn\'t give any warning that the hose was about to split

So i guess it might be worth having a look at what condition your hoses are in

Never had that happen to me and would not want it to. You must have s**t yourself, glad you got it to stop ok.

Yeah a change of pants were in order once i got it home  just wanted to let people know as i would hate for it to happen to someone else and them getting hurt

So be careful guys!!!!

if it does happen to anyone else you can still brake it just requires a hell of a lot more pressure than usual

Well i pushed on them as hard as i could, like you would when you find out your heading upto a junction and you hit the brakes and nothing happens

TBH even with all the preasure i could apply the brakes still did next to nothing to slow the car down, the handbrake did help a little

Just want people to be careful as you never know whats going to happen
