Rear brake pipe repair
Hi,
I recently had my C63 2010 serviced at a Merc dealer in the UK and they showed me that the rear brake pipes are starting to corrode and get rusty.
They've advised that I bring it back to them in 3 months for them to review, but one of the guys said not to bring it to them as their policy is to replace parts and not repair and that this could just be repaired.
What is the repair on this and how much is it in the UK?
Thanks
Tom

The repair is to replace the part. Don't screw around with high pressure brake lines, your life and the lives of those around you could be at stake.
This doesn't have to be done at a dealership, any competent mechanic should be able to bend a line and put the proper fittings on it.
