Hello All!
I have recently purchased my 2000sc and I have found that despite both front brakes being fine, the handbrake and both rear brakes are do not work at all. They do not cause any drag when the brake is pushed. I know the car was sat without being driven for at least 1 year before I bought it. It has the Girling type brakes.
I was wondering if there was anything I could try to fix the problem before I started removing drive shafts, calipers etc. I read on a dead thread on another forum something to do with pushing the calipers back in in situ in order to unstick the auto adjusting system, any ideas? I'm new to Rovers and am yet to figure out how the slightly confusing calipers and handbrake mechanism work!
Many thanks in advance,
Tom
