hey guys im back again needing some advise
my car has been through an MOT and its come back with an advisory on the handbrake
Measurements
Brakes Advisories: RBT Park Brake Efficiency: 17%
now iv had a look at it all and iv noticed the offside caliper wont release properly and is a bit stiff as well so im thinking maybe a seized caliper which might explain a weird wuring noise at speed (like the noise you get from the disk getting hot when you slow down quickly from high speed).
so im thinking im gonna have to replace the caliper on the offside anyway, but im wondering if i need to replace the nearside one as well since the handbrake doesnt hold very well at all on slopes.
so i am wondering if you guys can give me advise on what to do with the calipers and what that wuring noise could be.
oh and does anyone know anywear that has good price's for the parts as well ?
