I am replacing the rear brake lines, caliper to flexi hose.  As a precaution I have also decided to have a set of rear flexi hoses ready just in case these need replacing as well.  Went to my local motor factors and collected two rear hoses, they have given me one hose which has female connectors at both ends and one hose with female one end and male the other.  They are adamant that this is correct but I'm not sure.  All the pictures I've seen have been hoses with female ends. Which is the correct type I need? Or doesn't it matter?


Also have been looking at the PAS fluid and thought I might change it.  How is this done as can't see any "how to" in the maintenance section.

Any advice gratefully received.

I have changed my PAS fluid just by first emptying the reservoir, then topping up, running engine in 3k rpm for few minutes and turning steering side to side (front wheels up so the joints wont be under heavy load when turning wheels when standing still), emptying again, topping up, running engine and turning.. Do that a few times and fluid should be clear red   Ps. PAS fluid is dexron III atf.

Believe Dex III is incompatible with Omega Power Steering (although specified for autobox) - Dex II should be used for PAS
