Slightly off topic, can anyone recommend a brake flaring kit. There seem to be quite a few different types around and I'm not sure which one to go for. At the moment I need one for my son's car, but I do want something that I can use on the S3 if I need to in the future.

Thanks all for the feedback. Powerhand it is then - should I go for SAE or DIN?

Thanks Phillpot, SAE version ordered, I'll save the stainless braided hoses for my S3, rather than my son's Astra - which is what I need the kit for!

When it comes to replacing the brake pipes on my son's Astra, it is in the wheel arches where the pipes are corroded, elsewhere they are fine. Is there any reason why I can't just cut out and replace the sections in the wheel arches?
