Hi guys, I have failed the NCT as my handbrake isnt working the best (well nearly not working at all!).
With the handbrake pulled up to the last it barely will hold on a hill. I have the cable tightened to the last and it didnt improve anything. I took a look at yesterday, pads are nearly new.
I cleaned and greased the sliding rails as they were pretty dirty but it didnt improve them any. The pistons are not siezed as they move in and out freely when I step on the brakes and can be wound back in easily.
When I pull the handbrake the pistons barely move out at all???
Any Ideas anyone? have a retest on Thursday so will have to try and get it sorted before then. Thanks for reading.
