Simple fixes your thought were going to cost a fortune

It's one of those little joys in life which only the home mechanic experiences.
My Freelander's brakes were getting steadily worse to the point of being dangerous. A quick google revealed all manner of possible issues (servo, master cylinder etc). Great, big £££ and all the time to fix it.
And the problem was - a small hole in a vacuum pipe. I snipped 1" off the end, pushed the pipe back onto the turbo and... fully functioning brakes! Must have taken me a total of 3 minutes from bonnet open to bonnet closed
I'm not going to bore you with all the times the reverse was true though.
