Well that comment has just thrown a spanner in the works lol.
The reason I've not been in there before is because the handbrake works perfectly, so I've not really had the need to even have a look.
When I bought the car 5 years ago, I had a look at the brake pads both front and rear, they were brand new. The handbrake would hold the car on the side of everest so no issues there. I've replaced the front end, but these rusty old discs at the back bother me. The rear pads are about half worn and it will still hold it on everest.
I think now perhaps the best course of action is what have been suggested by TourerSteve, pull off the rear discs and access the situation, then order accordingly.
