  5. Im guessing you will be told a crock of Marmitee, that isnt the real reason for it anyway. Ask for all the old parts back and compare against your bill - will it have cables on it - flexies..... Excitement is underwehlming. Hope it gets sorted anyway. Wish that was all that was up with mine!!

  8. Cant see why you wouldnt be good to go - its all bolt-on, bolt-offable stuff easy by comparison to the work thats already been done.
     
  9. I had a similar problem after doing my front calipers
    Both hoses had collapsed.
    Zeds handbrake theory Is also very likely.
    Also have the little retaining springs been fitted( they tend to rust) without these the shoes can twist a bit causing a bind.

  18. So am I right in thinking mr gloater Zed was incorrect with his deduction? It wasn't the handbrake cables stuck?

    ;)

    I don't think that's been said or proved just yet? ;) I'm still waiting.

    Malc - so you've got to go and tell them how to fix it?
     
  20. Yeah, I'm still waiting to see if you have to eat humble pie. :lol:
