Cheers will do 😃

I need to change the discs as the are shot as the car had been standing for some time by the looks of their condition.. With pocket in mind I and as the callipers were a wee bit seized thought I would strip down to see what I needed etc
At some point new shoes had been fitted but wound virtually right off then fully adjusted as the handbrake.. Cleaned up inside on the drum/disc with a flap disc reassembled and adjusted correctly with 25mm on lever and now have a hand brake that works.. 3clicks now just need to change discs and sorted for test 😄

Hi Nigel.
Nice to hear you have managed to get them sorted out, I have today been over all my MG ZT ready for its mot tomorrow, hopefully I have not missed anything cheers Arctic.

Mike /Julian and Ivan your compensators have been sent out so you should receive them shorty.

Also thank you skip, and moonstone 75 received your old ones back cheers Arctic

Hi Nigel
Cheers passed again for the third year running no advisories, commented on how the handbrake was good he did however point out that my rear heat shield was a bit loose, let me take look nothing a bigger carbon washer once fitted will not sort out but said he could not add it to advisory, he also said I am wasting my time with this car so well pleased I am on top of the MG ZT, Tourer is the next one in August so I have time to bring that up to mot standard if I have to cheers Arctic
