Brought the gf punto up for a retest today, all the bits that failed the last time passed. But the tester: more problems come take a look, I'm thinking ah fuck. I go over to the car and the is a slight twist in the nearside brake line, no damage not kinked, frayed anything perfect bar it had a slight twist in it.
I ask what's wrong with it? He says it affects the pressure on the fluid when braking, I ask did it pass the braking test he says yes, and I say to him you have just contradicted yourself now because if it affects the pressure surely it would fail the braking test, he gives me a confused look.
I then asked to speak to a manager who was a right prick, no hello, not customer service. Walks straight up to me it's a fail and that's it, said the exact same thing to him as I did to the other lad, it's a fail and that's it.
So now they want me to pay another 28 quid to retest the brakes that have passed the test twice already again and lift it up to see if the twist was removed.
I'm going further with this, I will get my cert or a free retest before the day is out. And now I'm looking at the printout and it says the brake calliper in question performed a little better than the offside one without the little twist.:hmmm)
