bt_cav Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hi Guys A couple of months ago I cleaned and adjusted my rear brakes, as the hand brake was usless. Once I had done this it was perfect for about a month, however in the last month the hand brake is coming up high again and not nearly as good as it was. Is there a knowen issue with the brake adjusters? Should I buy new ones from ford? Any one know how much these are? Mot Due on the 10th :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Are any of the springs stretched or any signs of wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt_cav Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hey Steph I didnt notice, I fitted a new fitting kit a while ago, but the small spring on the adjuster wasnt changed.... Was thinking about buying new adjusters, I assume they would come with new springs.......and an outragious price tag... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt_cav Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Called ford to looking for prices of the rear adjusters.........£62 + vat for a 'kit' Im hoping a kit is an axel set i.e. a pair....... Anyway I have adjusted the brakes again....So fingers crossed for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
