Hi Jules, I have the same issue my drivers side brake pipeline about an inch before the flexible hose down to the brake caliper has broken apart when undoing the 10mm union. Dont suppose you have the part number for it?

Well, yes been there receiving the advice from dealership regarding car at six years old but most importantly the Blinkin cost.
Anyway during a brake inspection well many of them car now 13 years old with the nearside front having a slight split plus mot looming I decided to replace just the front hoses, bought them from Rimmer brothers which they arrived next day.
Yes the nearside front came off without any problems, but the offside nope, steel pipe just twisted then sheard off, what a panic then, things todo places to go wife to entertain and no brakes.

So, walked up to local corner garage cap in hand to borrow the brake pipe tool plus buy an end piece, no I was told the kits been loaned out and returned with bits missing.
So walked back to bus stop caught a bus to city centre and visited Machine Mart for pipe tool, which in fact was quite cheap and they had spare ends and joints in the kit.
Bus home, walked home and within an hour pipe fixed, bled and Road tested. No leaks.
There was just enough pipe to pull down re shape and re mould to correct shape.

Lesson learnt now. SOAK all brake pipes in WD40 every time I see em, blinkin shame got my discovery sport now, freelander was traded in, and just noticed has just been taxed, so someone somewhere has got a blinkin good car and new brake hoses on the front!😊
