PSA for OEM rear brake lines wear issue
 

Hello NAM Members. Take note and take a look at your brake lines.

While upgrading a local MINI's lines we discovered that the protection sleeve on the 1st Gen REAR OEM brake line had moved up the line and allowed the ebrake parts to wear a HOLE in the line :eek2: . See pics

Once the sleeve is back in the right spot zip tie the hose to limit the sleeve movement.

:thumbsup:

So, we should be looking at the rear brakes area if this is to do with the e-brake?

Yes Rear lines, I have also edited the OP.

1st Gen?

Yep, 1st Gen, may also be an issue for 2nd Gen, but have not looked at one yet.
