As a note. I have started to take a lot more pictures of various car assemblies when I do a job on the cars. I guess it's the advent of decent mobile phone cameras, digital cameras and printers. It certainly takes the guess work out when re-assembling.

Me too, but I think it's due to old age and not being able to .............................. er? er? remember

I had an advisory on my MOT a few weeks ago about my handbrake, so I will find out what all the fuss is about sometime in the coming months.

So did I last MOT (a verbal, not written  ) about missing reurn springs on my handbrake. I've not looked yet, but looking at EPC there doesn't appear to be any fitted anyway ........ I think Mr MOT Man is confusing the set-up with A N Other car 

The spring that attaches to the mechanism where the cable attaches to?

Next job is the handbrake cable replacement as its snapped.... quoted £60 to do... didnt realise it was a complicated job to do?

[vauxsull]

And I have the part so price is to fit.

[TheBoy]

not that bad, but heat sheilds have to come off

[vauxsull]

Ay and the exhaust ( acording to Haynes manual) and propshaft bearing too???

Nothing too drastic - the worse is the bloody heatshields

Wonder if bearing can be lowered enough without exhausts removed 

[vauxsull]

Is thgis because the heat shield nuts are prone to snapping? how awkward is the bearing to remove?

Mr Haynes does suggest there should be a spring that fastens to the back plate 

I'll look before next year's MOT ........

Indeed Andy B, one each side
