Re: Rear Brake Refurb

Cheers Guys!

Campbell, will try taking apart and trying to free them first. Hopefully will be some minor.

Handbrake holds the car on a slope but the rear brakes don't seem to be causing much friction on the disc under normal braking so maybe it is a stuck slider! Fingers crossed!

I had my S1 AWI wheels refurbed and powdercoated to Satin Black (they have a large choice of colours) and it was £260 (in June 2010) for a 1 day service. Droppe...
