This was touched on in a previous thread (http://www.disco4.com/forum/topic129848.html) but I wondered how many did have their flexible brake hoses replaced at the 96k service?
Speaking to the garage earlier and they don't replace them at 96k, just inspect and advise.Front Runner Rack, OEM Ladder & RAI, Tuff-Trek Foxwing, B'rakhah Ingonyama Expedition Trailer, RLD's Spare Wheel Protector, Bodsy's Bars, Empty Pockets!

Sound advice, but I find most need replacing at 8/9 years, due to rusty jointsMy D3 Build Thread

As Mike says
Just had mine done by my Indy (after I thought they were looking a bit rusty) and will be 9 years old in March 2016.

You want to replace them before they get this bad...

I replaced all mine at 10.5 years. The metal parts had been protected with a coat of grease each year, but even so, the corrosion had started under the ferrule - which cannot be seen unless you cut the ferrule off. For the cost of the parts and for the safety factor, change them.2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.
