Following on from Clare's earlier post about checking tyres...
We recently repaired a car for sale - which had been used as a daily driver.
As part of the safety checks - we took a look to see the condition of the brakes on all 4 wheels and we were shocked with what we found!
The car was essentially running on 1 good calliper - and to make it worse, the front shock absorbers were shot too - so no brakes and a bouncy ride!
The pictures are in the News section of www.pjgrady.co.uk
The brakes were replaced (as were the shocks) - so all is now OK....but for the cost of £40 for a full set of pads - and a hour or so to fit them and bleed the system - this must be one of the first things to do on the car.
Best regards
Darren
