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.

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

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.
