PURBECKFOSSIL Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I have a 2004 Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi with an electronic parking brake.The car recently failed the MOT with a sticking rear calliper. This wasreplaced but the problem has re-occurred. I have stripped down the rear brakesand after my own investigation found that the handbrake cable was not beingproperly released (therefore seized) when the EPM motor was actuated. Thegarage agreed with my diagnosis BUT I was told that Ford only supply the twocables and actuator motor combined at over £600 plus about £200 to fit. I findthis a very expensive solution. I asked the garage (non-ford and utterlydependable) if I could source the parts from a breaker for them to fit but theyare unsure if the actuator would be coded to the car it came from and cause aproblem initialising it with the car ECU. I find it unbelievable that thecables cannot be bought separately Any advice & guidance would beappreciated. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
