Hi All!
I just had my MOT which, all things considered, could have been worse.

I LOVE my 52 plate Mazda 6, 2L petrol auto. 160000 and still doing well. The last 4 MOTs I've had cost less than £100. The car cost £300 5 years ago and my mileage is so low these days I've only needed to service it once.

The MOT shows I need a "brake flexi". What is this? Can someone guide me to the right part and perhaps offer advice on fitting it?

The garage quoted £60 for the part. A google search is showing parts from £13 so I'm wondering if they are ripping me off or whether I found the wrong part.

The problem is that the brake caliper was mounted wonky and there has been resultant wear as a result. This is true. The brake pads on the front don't wear evenly.

Any advice will be gratefully received.

 

Flexi is usually the flexible brake hose going to the caliper.

 

Thanks!
