update on the thread
Hi all.
Glad to report that all is well again at the rear end, as regards the braking system. All done with thanks to my local garage.
It was my original diagnosis, the handbrake springs had rusted through and had collapsed inside the disc. The back plates are in reasonable condition, but will replace when the upper and lower suspension arms are replaced next month. MOT in January, but always put in a month before just in case. New discs and pads fitted, along with the park brake kit, also a replacement handbrake compensator, I now have 3 clicks rather than 7!!! Weeping thermostat and housing replaced also, it appears that it was at the point of letting go completely. Was having to top up quite a bit recently.
Be nice to take her on a long run now without having to worry!!
Again, thanks to all who replied to the thread.
Regards,
Dave.
