craggsy 91 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Just failed my MOT on handbrake efficiency test. It was at 9% when minimum is 16%......was really nervous whilst they done it, pacing around like an expectant father. Chuffed to bits about it tho even tho I know my handbrake was shit Link to post Share on other sites

silverline 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 mine failed on the rear discs, they were really badly corroded on the inner face. i think the rear bushes on mine are gone as there is a really harsh thud from that area when you go over bad road surfaces.
