MOT Fail Corroded Brake Lines

  2003 Clio 172
Hi everyone, I’m after some advice on my 2003 172.

The car failed it’s MOT for corroded brake lines. I have seen braided kits for the car but I’m unsure if the affected pipes are available/in the kits.
Does anyone know if these are available as a kit, new from Renault or if they have to be made?

Any help/advice greatly appreciated

I replaced the rear drivers side hard line on my old 182 a couple years ago. Bought directly from the local Renault dealer for around £40 if I remember correctly.

The old line snapped when I removed it, it was so weak and fragile, so lucky the MOT place highlighted it really, not something I'd have checked at the time.

As above make a new set easy for that line, any good garage will probably do it for an hours labour. They join at the join you can see in the pics obviously and the other end is under the car just before it goes up the chassis leg towards the engine bay

Didn't realise this was the hard pipe between the front of the car and the rear beam. Ignore my comment above, didn't look at the picture properly.

I need to replace one of my hard lines that runs from the front to back, under the floor pan. Can you buy a ready made line or is it a case of making one myself?
