ger040 3 Posted August 14, 2021 I have changed the rear calipers for a 3rd set , bled them - and now the handbrake is finally pulling up square Just took the car out and gave the brakes an absolute hammering to the point where i can smell them Will see how it goes on Monday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ger040 3 Posted August 16, 2021 car went for mot tonight and brakes were perfect not a problem just shows even new / refurbished items can be faulty Thanks all for your help, After all that the car still failed its MOT - defective front lower ball joint - This car has covered less than 2000 miles since a complete suspension refurbishment - the only thing i did not check over the weekend was the front end !
