You might have a failing flexible brake hose, probably on the front.
If they start to collapse internally, it can take a hard push of the pedal to get fluid past the problem. That would lead to yo ... |

Hi Rob,
Yes it's held in place by the wheel arch liner pressing against it.
That's why it falls out if you remove the liner. I think originally there would have been some adhesive, mine looke ... |

……….
I'm curious?
What's with the messages containing just full stops? I see from the message just before this one, that Gremlin's post changed, but there's no mention that the post has ... |

I'd say the differences are between LHD & RHD.
My part number for the similar looking part (but not exact), was BH42-02457-AB
Which is very similar to your's, I'd say it fit's in a similar ... |

I asked the very same question, about a very similar looking item about 4 years ago!
Mine came out of the LH side of my car which is RHD. I never got a definitive answer from any user on here, but ... |

I don't think anyone was suggesting it's a bad buy.
It's a cracking buy and a great and reliable engine, as stated in my opening post.
I was just trying to understand if there was a definitiv ... |

Now this is SHOCKING! From the same article BTW, it says:

OK, just Googled it. Such systems already exist.
