RE: MOT fail rear parking brake 8% efficient :S - Frosty - 28-04-2013 Might be worth popping the hand brake cable out of the caliper and checking its free RE: MOT fail rear parking brake 8% efficient :S - CJ_Derv - 29-04-2013 Gona strip caliper and pul a new cable on a think RE: MOT fail rear parking brake 8% efficient :S - silverzx - 29-04-2013 8%!!! :o wtf mate!!

How you sorted the welding and the caliper,new piston or just cleaned them up?
