dreaded mot

After doing months of body work on my mk5 camper, new wings new rear arches inner and outer sills. It failed mot tonight on a sticking front caliper and headlight beam not right. Turns out the bulb holding clip snapped meaning bulb wasnt sitting right. Just need to source a caliper now.

Caliper or flexi hose?
Most Probb just the hose
Looks ok but furkered on the inside and acting as a one way valve
New hose all is good
Perfect
