Snapped Brake Line!
Hello mate
brake lines on all cars can be replaced if needed, on the s from memory, the pipes are in a plastic cover along the length of the car,
If you do need to replace them firstly you will need a flaring tool
flaring tool
and a pipe bender
pipe bender
and also some cunifer(copper nickle ferros) brake pipe (non corrode),and some compression fittings.
or there is a kit as below
car parts direct
It is amazingly easy to replace bakelines with very little experience, the fiddly bit is bleeding the system, but if you use the guidelines in the honda manual you should have no problems
Or as hypersonic said, you may have enough play just to replace the end

Thanks for the advice shepp, that was spot on!
I've been under the car today and had a good look at the brake lines. I'm going to replace both the rear lines as I have found some corrosion on both near the rear sub frame.
Managed to borrow the tools off a guy at work as well.
