there is plenty of life in both sets of discs n pads and the calipers were changed 2 years ago after it failed the 1st mot i took brakes apart greased the pins rubbed down the edges of the pad as they were a bit snug but nothing was really binding on. Any way i did the adjustment method where u disconnect the hand brake cables wind the adjuster all the way back pushed the pistons right back in. Then pumped the pedal a good 20 times went for a little drive a few more pumped attached cables and adjusted the bolt under centre console.
now it made my brakes feel great proper solid feel to them hand brake felt better and this is when it just scarped thro the mot with that done, however again the hand brake has lost its grip i have adjusted the nut under console again and there is bite but not enough to hold the car on a hill it creaks and groans an slowly moves forward so having to keep it up against the kerb and leave in revese atm, which i hate doing.
so my only thoughts are the cables have stretched and these are the only original bit on there and will be 14 years old, you guy think this is a fair assumption if so what r they like to fit is it a garage job with a ramp or can it be done with a trolley jack and a few swaer words?
or any other advice is welcome
Thanks guys n girls in advanced
