I'd recommend you do some testing before you go buying a bunch of parts.
Jack it up and see which wheels are locked up. Slightly unscrew the brake
hose at any locked wheel to determine if it's the caliper or a failed hose.
If it's a rear wheel, determine if it's the parking brake or the
Wetness around the injectors is still likely to be bypass hoses, unless its up
around the nut, in which case the line should be disconnected/reconnected.
I believe that you need 2-3 meters of hose for the job, but I haven't done it

When I bought the '83 300D in 2000 it had a 1 hole in the back muffler. I
wrapped a piece of roofing valley (flexible aluminum metal) around the
muffler and over the hole, and put two or three daisy-chained stainless
clamps around it. 100K miles later it's still there and doesn't leak. IIRC
Well, if he knocked the 1 off, maybe. I mean, didn't even fill in
the turn signal holes? Sheesh!

Saw an unusual airplane climbing out of our local airport today. Canard
configuration with pusher propellors on the trailing side of the main
wings. Was quite sure I'd never seen anything like it so did a bit of
