flusted 0 Posted February 8, 2007 i think thats quite expensive. low effort on handbrake is prob caliper not adjusted properly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuggit 0 Posted February 8, 2007 My quote : Both Wipers Knackered Dip Beam NW Brake Lights NW Steering rack gaiter insecure Parking Brake Crap Small weld under battery Which effectively comes down to : 2 wipers, a switch, a ziptie, a fuse, 94 seconds of welding, and a bit of a faff with the rear brakes. And the price they wanted? £250 trade. Hope that helps. Steve P.S. Flusted : Couldn't pass on any tips on the HB could you? I'm due for a go at this as well...

flusted 0 Posted February 8, 2007 well remove calipers,wind piston out on caliper so the pads very lightly bind,then fit back together. new handbrake cables are cheap and make a difference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
