Re: brakes

the master cylinders fine, the brakes are improving rapidly too, they are still not great, but nothing new pads and discs won't sort

the rears breaks are buggered though, i think all the shoes are nackered, the hanbrake issues now clear too, they won't work because the ones siezed partialy on, and the othert sides not even connected!, easy to fix though, i'm replacing the shoes sunday, along with all the fronts

it won't be driven until after they are sorted,

Likewise, but with the right tool, it's a peice of piss!

Before you pull everything at the rear apart, check that the slave cylinders are operating on both sides: I suspect (but hope I'm wrong) a little more than pads and shoes.
