Brake rebuilding

The DTurbo had 2 new rear calipers within the last year....and doesn't hold well at all lol, infact I cant leave it on the handbrake alone on my drive as it just rolls back off again. I imagine they left the factory with poor handbrakes.

Tom i dont think any handbrake works that well. Im driving a brand spanking new 3 series at the moment and when its in drive with the handbrake on as hard as i can get it (giggidy), it still creeps forwards!

Jonny, like the idea! When i take mine apart, i will be looking at the mechanism. It feels like there is a lot of slack to take up before the piston is actually moved so might be able to work something there.
Ideally, id like to go to Hispec tomorrow and get a set of twin piston callipers but i dont have a spare £300 lol
