Stevo-M 0 Posted April 21, 2009 As odd as it sounds i was quite pleased with the test results, i bought the 'rado with no MOT and thought it'd need alot more! Emissions aside, i need to know what parts to buy, as the mechanic will obviously have lengths of standard brake pipes. A link to an online parts catalogue would be fine! Anyway, here's the list.. Cheers nsr (to load valve) brake pipe corroded osr (to load valve) brake pipe corroded osr (from load valve to flexy hose) brake pipe corroded osr (from flexy hose to flexy hose) brake pipe corroded nsr (to caliper) brake hose ferrule corroded osr (to caliper) brake hose ferrule corroded osr brake disc excessively scored nsr parking brake recording little or no effort osr parking brake recording little or no effort exhaust emmisions carbon monoxide content excessive parking brake efficiency below requirements On a positive note, i did get a few looks on my way home from the testing station, so all that effort polishing and giving the plastic treatment yesterday paid off! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yandards 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Rear brakes can be sorted by stripping off the caliper and giving the carrier and edges of the pads a good going over with an angle grinder to get rid of all the corrosion. This stops them sliding in the carrier and prevents the rear brakes from working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
