The bravo (mk1 hgt) failed mot on a few brake related issues....
1st are both front brake lines corroded to excess and also nearside rear.....thought about buying a decent pipe flarer/pipe and ends but garage only quoted me 2hrs labour to replace so seems sensible to let them do that.
Also failed as rear parking brake only 12% efficient....ooops.
Want to take all cables out and grease them up...may well be worn/stretched but new ones won't turn up till tues as they can't place order till monday a.m so might as well try sorting old one out first tomorrow,
Is there a specific routine for setting the cable tension??? presume adjuster under rubber handbrake gaitor and don't need to take centre console out to get to it.???
Any guidance would be greatly welcomed.....
