[postbasher]

I am very fedup with the garages ive used or consulted recently...this morning a garage i was hopeful might replace the handbrake shoes refered to any other car than his bmw as heaps of junk...rover inc..i am sure he had years of experience to come to that decision but just lately its not what i wanted to hear...So....is there anyone on the forum who would like the job? Tho i am currently in plymouth, I am due to travel to Walsall for a few weeks...can stop enroute perhaps or am going to be in Norwich\Gt Yarmouth area soon too....
But am willing to look at any option if someone is able and willing?

Try Moorlands Auto Solutions in Moorlands Lane Saltash. They have looked after my cars.

If you cant find anyone to do the job for you and you really want to go out of your way before mid September, I'm in Southampton.
4 things to consider, the state of the drum surface may require new drums, the state of the back plates may require new back plates and I cant recall if you will need new hub nuts and the last thing I'm just DIY.

Well if he’s so good at bmw servicing, does he realise it’s the same useless system? Good luck finding a garage, I can’t recommend any unfortunately...
