p3pp3 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 I failed my "Swedish" MOT test today.No parking/hand brake on left side, full reading when using the ordinary brakes?? Is it new parts or... Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Are the cables ok? is the left hand one streched? if you look under the car while someone operates the hand brake can you see the cables move? or it could be a duff caliper? Quote
seatkid Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Probably rusty/corroded lever mechanism on left side rear caliper. Strip, examine, clean and lubricate........ Quote
El Dingo Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 This could also be a sticky (rather than siezed) caliper. Quote
Topbloke Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 not uncommon for the handbrake cams/lever seizing need to check if its moving/not the lever has a stop that it should return to could, possibly be a lazy mechanism or incorrectly adjusted Quote
