Braided clutch hose...

... is what I wish i'd fitted after upgrading to a much heavier duty clutch!
Unfortunately I didn't and on the way back from a Toyota tech exam in London it decided to burst 50 meters from the Dartford tollboths, this meant I had to push the fucking thing across 2 lanes of oncoming HGV's which had NO intention of stopping and then getting towed off the M25 by the traffic police.
To make matters worse I had no breakdown cover and had to pay

Cool stuff very suprised it held 15quid a roll, try telling an AA man you haven't been sprinting at NorthWealed when he has just sat and had his lunch there tho! Some are pretty decent mechs.

Bloody brilliant stuff that kraken tape. A very nice chap a snetterton gave me some when old yella burst its bottom hose. It got me home too.
Well done on the exam as well.

wow looks like a must have addition to the toolbox

glad it worked out well jon , horrible being stranded especially on the m25
i had it about 18 months ago in my van towing a trailer with a car on the back when my throttle pedal packed up (non cable type)
