houfe2206 · 07-02-2011, 22:11

Mot's booked in for friday, so yesterday did a quick once-over,generally shes in great condition,however when i dropped the drums off for handbrake adjustment i noticed one of the wheel cylinders had a slight weep and had contaminated the shoes.,after a quick clean up all was well again and handbrake working s**t hot on both sides (equally).
My question is will the mot man know?
Just havent got time to replace wheel cylinder untill sunday ,mots booked for friday afternoon and the missus needs the car for work etc.
Might give it a quick clean up thursday night.
PS I love her really, just havent told her about the dodgy brakes,ignorance and all that.

unless he can see a weep on back plate or it shows up on brake test no,when i changed mine i used one them quick clamps took end off turned wrong way round so it acted as a spreader made job much easier quicker!

As long as the correct brake effort is shown and no juice is leaking out all's well
