i quote



" No Effort on N/S/R Handbrake "



oh and it took 3 attempts to get i through the emissions test...

 

[sjd172]

funny that, my mk2 172 seems to have a rather weak hand break.

where did you get the mot done ?

SMC woking ?

 

[JillyB]

Rogate Renault

in rogate he he....

booked it in for next tuesday and they are gonna fiddle with the brakes first so then it cant fail on that.

 

[VR6man]

Bloody hell I got my K plate valver through the MOT and it needed nothing. passed the emissions without a cat too

 

[VR6man]

[rt172]

Ummmmm.......!

 

[Simon172]

Oh no Will! we were talking about how bad our handbrakes were only the other day. Must get mine seen to. I wonder if it needs the ecu update or something regarding emissions? im sure someone said in here theres updated data for them? maybe? or maybe not? who knows, not me!

 

[VR6man]

thats just what i was thinking..

[craigy172]

[craigy172]

the hand break on my 1.2 is sh*t! sitting on a reasonable hill the other day in a traffic jam, i pulled up the hand break with a fair bit of force, as i knew it wasnt that great, but the car started rolling back slowly!!! so i resorted to useing the foot break and luckily the guy behind me left me lots of room, incase i rolled back! - 2 month old car!!
