Full set of break lines and fuel lines
On my mot I had advisories for all break lines and fuel lines slightly corroded. Just wanted to know if anyone has had this work done on a hatch back and what was the cost? They was mentioned when my hub bearing was done so I'm guessing they will need doing before next MOT.

Slight corrosion could just mean the surface, try finding said corrosion and see of a brush with a wire brush cleans them up, the coat with paint/sealant. Depends on level of corrosion.

anyone know of anywhere to get the fuel lines for under the car? mine could do with being renewed

^^^ what he said. Get a pipe flaring kit that includes a pipe bender, get some 8mm copper pipe and a set of unions.

Re: Full set of break lines and fuel lines
If you're handy with spanners, you could do the job yourself if you have the kit.
Alternatively, measure out the pipes that are on there already and most motor factors will make them up for you.
Fuel lines, as above - plastic piping off a newer vauxhall or use copper line.
