Hello all, I wanted to make a brief post before I begin searching eBay and other platforms for a pair of rear brake flex hoses for my 2.0-liter diesel Ghia X estate. Any suggestions?
I might also be keen on acquiring a comprehensive nearside hub assembly that includes a quality bearing, should anyone have one available for purchase.

I might also be keen on acquiring a comprehensive nearside hub assembly with a functional bearing if anyone has one available for purchase.

Utilise the front bearing, as the rear consists of a complete hub bearing with merely four bolts, rendering the use of a pre-owned hub bearing unnecessary.
I have utilised unbranded rear hubs costing £30, which are now a decade old and have endured 35,000 miles.

Regarding the brake hoses, if we are discussing standard options, I have previously utilised Pagid and have been satisfied with their performance (the same brand as TMD Friction). You might consider Ford, as I have observed that many frequently replaced components are often similarly priced to quality aftermarket parts.

If you are seeking a performance enhancement, I have previously utilised Goodridge on a modified vehicle and found them to be excellent. I cannot endorse HEL performance as they appeared to be incompatible with a Mondeo.

That is my personal experience; however, it is important to note that nowadays, you might purchase an item labelled as XYZ, which is actually produced by ABC at a lower cost, including from OEMs. It appears that numerous companies today disregard their formerly reputable brand names and opt to market outdated merchandise, a broad observation not limited to the automotive sector.

I recently substituted my rear hoses with Pagid components from Euro Car Parts, but it appears that ECP no longer carries parts for MK3 Mondeos.

I extend my sincerest apologies to all.

I must have been partially asleep yesterday, as I should have mentioned BRAIDED rear flexis and a front nearside hub assembly! However, I am pleased to experiment with Pagid alternatives. Regarding a hub assembly, I considered that acquiring one could facilitate a quicker hub replacement, allowing me to return to the road sooner while I replace my original assembly bearing at my convenience.

If you were in proximity, you could complete the bearing in 2 to 3 hours, contingent on its level of seizing, thus avoiding a repeat of the task.

You are attempting to coerce me once more, amusingly.

With a sledgehammer of that calibre, he could accomplish far more than merely contorting your limb.

I am pleased that you are opting for braided hoses, as they surpass conventional rubber ones in durability and provide significantly enhanced braking performance. I installed some on my present vehicle 16 years prior, and they still appear pristine.
