MOT fail rear parking brake 8% efficient :S

[CJ_Derv]

Right so had issues with rear N/S caliper siezing on sorted out and works fine but just failed mot as O/S rear isnt working brakes fine just handbrake

Im thinking strip and rebuild tomorrow and then adjust handbrake cable to suite

Any tips?

[Anton]

Mine was 0% lol.

Adjust cable, i put a 8mm washer on to take up slack.

[Frosty]

Might be worth popping the hand brake cable out of the caliper and checking its free

[CJ_Derv]

Gona strip caliper and pul a new cable on a think

8%!!! :o wtf mate!!

[Grant]

8%? Has to be the most efficient Peugeot handbrake in the U.K. lol

[Toms306]

Lol........you know 16% is the legal minimum......I always wondered how anyone could use a car with only 16% handbrake..........but 8% really is bad haha!

I know is 2year post, but i have the similar hole on mine peugeot and also rear N/S caliper stuck! How you sorted the welding and the caliper,new piston or just cleaned them up?

[HDi--Power]

He used new handbrake cables

Grease up the sliders and sand the face of the pads and disc, never failed me yet.

[jonas306]

I changed my cables, i have the piston stucked... Regarding the hole, did he welded with a metal sheet?
