They are the same for the estate, it's a good set but totally complete, there are a few missing but these are all the ones you most likely need.

ABS cars have a different one for the ABS feed, but you'd still need the other 3 front to rears.

Oh and just to put the price into persective. My bro in law paid £37 I think for a Xantia o/s rear brake pipe, ONE OF!

Thanks Ken.

Would you expect this to be the corrosion resistant kind?

Oh yes.

Mind you, whether or not the protection will still be there by the time you've got them fitted on the car is another matter :lol:

I always coat them with a mixture of old gearbox oil with a bit of diesel thrown in, the diesel helps the oil creep, and the gear oil because it's thick and doesn't wash off so easily.

Messy job, but much easier than re-piping the things. :)

I'm not sure how bad mine are - one garage said they'd all need replacing sooner rather than later, but I think I'll get another opinion first. Does £300 sound a reasonable figure for replacing the lot?

Thanks again

In my experience I'd say that's a good price, for the whole lot.

If that includes supplying the pipes it sounds fine to me, I need to get my 16v done (still)
