FAILED!
- rear indicator earth fubared
- rear no. plate light out on one side
- handbrake effort utterly trousers
and the biggie
- rear nearside vehicle structure has excessive corrosion
sills got a 2p sized hole in it near drain hole
looks like am keepin her yet again, damn thing! :lol:
handbrakes got me perplexed tho tbh, claipers are free on piston and slider, cables are new as are discs and pads. it was working before changed discs, not it aint! nothing else changed at that time, just discs and now it dont work! i degreased the discs but maybe not well enuf?
discs and pads. how long ago mileage wise as they gone take 250-350 miles to bed in. also the handbrake brake bit of the calipers is sort of different to the foot brake bit.

did you bleed everything properlly? is the cable adjusted properlly?
ah right, well i changed the discs like erm 0 miles ago, literally finished swappin em then put in for MOT, not like i can drive it to bed them in its MOT/Tax less
pads were changed a little wile before, change them again? but then how do i rack up some mileage?
should still work some what though. was there any handbrake at all
less than 20% on nearside, 40-50 on off :oops:

I paid £130 for my sill to be replaced and painted at my local bodyshop, he did a great job too.

That was on my old blue valver which doesnt exist anymore.
Yeah he quoted me £260 to do both sides but only one needed doing in the end hence the price, one had a massive gaping hole in it about the size of a tennis ball i kid you not.
Colour match was spot on.

Carro's Automotive services Newport, Essex.
No pictures cos the car is in a scrap yard, he blended it in to the bottom of the car and in side the door part.
Take my word i am a VERY picky person but i was extremely happy with the job done.
