    My Bora has decided that even with the head gasket needing replacement, it will cost me more money by bursting one of its brake pipes or hoses at the rear near to the rear suspension.

    The good thing is that I managed to bring the car to a stop and no other vehicles got in the way.

    Funny thing was that I was going to look at some replacements for the Bora

    This is the offending pipe



    What kind of costs would I be looking to get the above repaired?

    Thanks
