Bob, Sue's Fastback's PO should have asked here before needlessly  replacing
expemsive items - still, I don't suppose you're  sorry!
 
Well, this was in the "pre-internet" days (1989). It took me a couple of  
days (working by myself armed with a Bentley) to figure out the hoses  were 
the real problem, after checking out everything else in the brake  system. 
Can't complain too much, as I did get a discount on the sale price of  the 
car. ;-) But, it was the first time I ever ran into hoses that went bad  
internally. Now I just replace them when I get a car. It's definitely  something I 
will always remember. : ) 
On "domestic" vehicles, you look for cracks on the outside of the hose,  as 
that's how they normally go.
