quote: mine does it too, its not the rear shoes or cylinders cos i changed all of them, its not air in the brakes cos i bleed them all several times completely changing the brake fluid, its not the brake bias valve cos ive adjusted that several times. handbrake cable it newish (last summer) only thing i can think it is is something in the rear drum is sticking, think ill grease the moving bits up. | |

Cost me £52 to have the longer one replaced, but that was in quite a pricey garage, and included the price of the cable, and they did do the job sharpish for me. | |

they say fit them both when u replace 1 mate as u dont want the ballache of havin to do it 2 times...vauxhalls are notorious 4 the handbrake cables as they go round a bend at the back whick is unprotected from rain,water etc! therefore it takes alot of ware and tare! and yes the £40 included both the cables and fittin...mine used to knock...it doesnt now! dont know if he fixed that too???!! | |
