Handbrake woes
Just how good or bad is your parking brake ?
My car failed its MOT on inefficient rear brakes and handbrake. I have freed off both sets of caliper sliders (anyone know what grease to use in these ?) and the back brakes seem much better.
The handbrake is a different story though, basically everything is working as it should it just does'nt seem very effective, it will lock the wheels solid when the car is on a jack.
As a test, driving off with the handbrake on is not too much of a problem though. Would this be normal for one of these handbrakes ?
Thanks
