dr_broon Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Stick with it man krzys, the rear brakes are shite... They either stick on or off, and the hand brakes only there to help it not turn the engine over when you leave it on a steep hill in gear (of the brakes aren't seized on anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ahh mate. Old cars are always a pain in the arse. You've done such a good job just hang on I there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm being sensible and just ignoring the car at the minute like a kid having a strop New hi/low loom turned up yesterday with some JDM (tie) wraps so should have some working headlights again soon! Depending how I feel I may lift the back end to find out what's happened this time with the handbrake but I really don't want to as it stands currently.

Ha are you scrunching pieces of paper up and throwing it at her too?!?! I wonder whether it might be worth having a garage or something check over the calipers? Not sure that there is a way to test the mechs properly? At least then you can narrow it down to setting up issues rather than a hardware issue ?

My brother, although trained with them and did 9 years at a dealership isn't that great at fault finding, their ethos, if it's not working, replace it so I'm on my own really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
