Hi all. Having recently succeeded in sorting out my engine earth problem, I'm raring to go. I have an issue with the o/s handbrake. My car, 2004 1.4 tdi 90hp, has discs all round and the handbrake has never been good. A while back I replaced the o/s rear shock and noticed the short cable which runs under the rear axle to the caliper had been damaged at some point. I suspect it had been like this since I bought it. I replaced the cable and noticed that it wasn't releasing everytime on the o/s. Much manual persuasion and copious application of WD40 seemed to cure this. However, the handbrake is still woefully inadequate to the point I can push the car forwards with it on. I wonder has anyone else had similar problems with the rear calipers and what solutions there are?
