hi guys!
First of all can i wish you all a merry xmas!
My problem is as follows.... a few months back i had new rear pads fitted as they were running low, a couple of weeks after this i noticed one of the back brakes locking on as the wheel was very hot during normal driving. The car was up for an MOT so I had a new caliper fitted and it passed no probs. The brakes were in general good conditon no except an advisory for worn front discs.
Last week I had new front discs and pads fitted and the mechanic doing this remarked that he thought the rear brakes were still binding on but he couldnt recreate the fault during normal driving( the wheels werent getting hot and no sign of excess brake dust on the wheels etc) but he could defo feel some kinda sticking.
To try and remedy this he pushed the rear pads back away from the discs and bit and gave me the car back but my trouble is that the rear brakes now no longer work at all(can tell as the disc face is rusty and doesnt clean up after the brakes have been applied serveral times) and the hand brake is non exsistant.
Why would this happen? faulty compensator?
thanks in advance!
