Ask my lad...

Had 3 seperate vehicles have a brake hose blow.
One approaching a red at a busy intersection.
One pulling up behind another vehicle,
One coming down the Pichi Richi pass.

If you honestly think you can tell signs of wear in a rubber hose from external examination you are kidding yourself.

That attitude is a danger to you, your occupants and anyone driving around you.

Bull****....

Rubber used in brake lines is still the exact compound it was 30 years ago.

And yes. Built to a standard - look it up - standard states replacement after time....

**** you lot love rolling the dice.

Attitudes on here (and other car forums) suck when it comes to being safe.

Stupidity at its highest...

Ease up - Stupidity and Ignorance are not the same thing.

And around the globe I can point to a fair few other 'stupid' things that would rate higher than challenging the LR service schedule...

They aren’t mutually exclusive either.

I’m also having the transmission filter changed, ie new pan with integrated filter and associated partial flush. Already had a partial flush at 5 years. Coolant outlet at this one and leaving belts until 7 years.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks Scott. Mind if I ask what they quoted you for this: new pan with integrated filter and associated partial flush

I just had full flush/service at 120Km, the filter pan assembly, fluid at $75/L transmission additive.

Total $1550. Don't know if this is good bad or ball park, the filter pan assembly was $550

In sunny Melbourne of course...

Full flush and steel pan with new filter should cost around 1600 - 1800 bucks max if you get it done at a reputable indie. Much cheaper if you diy. Don't see the point of a partial flush, you are not getting all the crud out by any stretch of the imagination, just adding nice new fluid to already tired and contaminated fluid to make more contaminated fluid.

Do it once and do it properly: Full drain, rebuild valve body while you're at it, new solenoids etc. Cost me about 1200 all up with zf separator plate, solenoids, BMW pan and penrite bmv fluid. No issues with the transmission since.
