Ah well. POOR Fluid and a flat accumilator sphere will not help the brakes At ALL!

Sounds like a list of small and easy things to do then.. :-D :wink:

Yes A SPECIAL one, needs to be an Accumilator Sphere, nothing else.. ;-)

Try AEP Direct, also known as Citroen Services... They are BETTER then ECP or GSF...

got parts from bullwikles Saves messing about
Got some tyres frm the scrap yard 48 pound for 2 plus fitting. But they couldnt balance them. The ally wheel hassnt got that center cap thing on it. If it was normal bog standard wheel. He could have put it on machine.
Feels rubbish now it does. S need find somwhere to balance them and do tracking.
On one of the jobs. Just needs break pads cleaning.. greasing up etc. would have been 50 pound in labure to clean everything down.
Thats the only problem with bullwikles cant read his writing lol.

Some areas seem to have no places that can do them. I have no problem down here at any of the places I use. Weird.

48 quid for two plus fitting is expensive for part worns! Place on the A4 in Slough charges 15 inc fitting and balancing!

The frount nearside was k to do. Then we disconnected the lose handbreak cable because it wasnt doing anything.
Started the offside one. Took us ages to lift the calliper. So we was hanking and pulling on that. Then when we put the pads back on. The piston was not going in. So we was forcing that

The piston screws in. If you've forced it you've likely knackered the caliper and could be why your handbrake ia high. How much is left on the pads anyway? If the efficiency is so bad it shows up on the MOT something is knackered big time.
