LR have never replaced brake hoses on any of my FL when they have gone in for 6 yr service, they have always said its an extra item on top of the standard service costs... even though its on the service sheet

2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Zermatt Silver

I think the truth is Bob , they get replaced when the MOT tester says they are a fail . If you are replacing them , go for the life time option . braided with stainless fittings . I put them on every bike I owned . They must be available for cars ? 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

I bought some braided Goodridge lines about a year ago but a little concerned about the process in fitting them onto the 2011

2014 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto Orkney Grey

Fitted a set to my disco when it was about 11. All came apart easily enough. Make sure you have a good quality crows foot spanner. Don't try with a normal open ender or you may struggle. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

As Steve says, I'd only change them if starting to perish or badly corroded on the fittings, unless of course they happen to be leaking 😀 (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

I live by the sea, never has to renew brake lines on cars that wer 25 & 18 years old.

Has the brake fluid been changed? Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Looks like the 6 year change can be ignored then and be based on wear and tear.

I have changed then years ago when in the trade as they needed it but back then many components failed quite quickly. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
