lol .. well got car back and it failed :cry:

Only on one thing though :D

Offside rear rear parking brake recording little or no effort :roll:

so basically it failed on the hand brake which isnt to bad ..

He said the RBT Park Brake Efficiency was 7% , when you pull the hand brake their is very little if any movement of the hand brake cable .. so
probably just needs a new cable .. :P

So it goes back friday for the work needed then on saturday she's up for
sale as im after a 200sx s13 or a fiesta rs turbo 8)

so happy days :D

Not to sure fella probably about £1500

Done 82k . Cam belt and head done @ 79k

Basically its a Willy Rep with the Alloys , Full interior and carpet , dials ,
Decals etc

also has a Magnex exhaust and a remapped chip

few pics below ... gonna sort some better pics on the weekend after its
come back from the garage ..

Only thing it needs to be mint is a bonnet and tailgate but thats if you want
it a minter ... as rust around the rear wiper arm and the paint has reacted
from a cheapo repaint by the bonnet scoop from the previous owner .. :roll:

To be honest though the car has only done 2.5k 2500 miles since the
last M.O.T a year ago so hasnt been used much . So i suprose thats why
the handbrake needs doing as its been parked up more than than enough
in the last year :P

Garage at first said it was a handbrake fault .. Now it turns out to be a
buggered rear brake Caliper AARRGH !! :evil:

You dont actually have to screw it in either, works perfectly fine and safely without the screws.

wether he meant taking the slack up in the play between pad and disc by winding the piston out thatll improve handbrake
