    Green piping running down suspension strutt

    I've got some green piping running down the suspenion strutt, i take it its something to do with brake pad wear warning lights? any idea where I could this from and all the associated bits to connect up as it should be?

    Sounds more like the brake hose. The wear light wire is more cream coloured.

    Hi Brigsy, its more like piping to be fair, unless the wire runs inside the pipe to a certain extent?

    Pad wear wire is cream as it runs down the strut and changes to black into the caliper. Brake line is green as far as it comes into the wheel arch it then attaches to a bracket behind the strut and then the hose to caliper.
