How much is one expected to pay to have a nearside and offside brake hose replaced and fitted.
Failed MOT on this. Any help thanks.

Easy DIY if you at all handy with the spanners .. but any REPUTABLE garage should not charge a fortune.. Hasve BOTH side done if you get it done professionally much better. . I am sure there are members on here who will inform you of the costs involved, but I would have thought in the region of £30/50 .

Consider having braided stainless hoses too - People like Rally Design can make up lengths/ ends to your requirements :) - and these have the big advantage of better brake feel (no swell) and lifetime guarantee :)
