So as stated my car 2002 Stilo Dynamic has failed its MOT on:
1. Rear brake pads need replacing.
2. New handbrake cable required (current one is damaged not sure which one LHS/RHS)
Fiat have quoted me £87.00 all in for handbrake cable and £120.00 for pads and if I get repairs done there they will not charge for re-test! so £207.00.
I have until 1st July to sort out but am away on 26th-28th June so dont have much time.
Should I try myself as parts will cost 15.00 for cable and 27.00 for pads but haven't a clue how to do either.
Can any one tell me if the rear pads are easy to do and will I need any special tools. (I have searched the Forum but couldn't find much) and again same with the brake cable.
Thanks for you opinions or advice
