I worked on the brakes over the weekend. It was not the hoses, but a frozen piston in the caliper. I got the caliper rebuilt with new seals and so on by my garage. Did not get the DOT 5 though. I'll wait until I have a chance to rebuild the other three calipers as well, replace the hoses, drain the system, and then put in the DOT 5. It cost a bomb over here, and since I only bled one caliper, I just topped off the reservoir with DOT 4.

I was lucky to be able to find the last 144 caliper rebuild kit in town, on a Sunday afternoon. Can the ones from a 244 be used as well? They are readily available in huge numbers...
