Default A word of caution about flexi's

Whilst out for a drive on Sunday I had a Goodridge Flexi hose burst. This was caused by the pipe rubbing on the suspension, so was NOT a pipe fault. It could be worth having a good luck at the flexi pipes on your car be them OE or upgraded items to make sure they are not chaffing on anything. If this had happened at a different time and a higher speed I might not be here to write this word of caution. I had thought of these pipes as indestructable but did not take into account any mechanical interference.

So a new set of hoses on order and hopefully be back mobile by the weekend.
