That's interesting.. I just had the *front* discs and pads replaced.. and a front caliper. Do you think I've now got a problem with a back caliper?? I'll keep trying to apply the handbrake and see if it auto-adjusts. On my last MOT they listed "adjusted handbrake" - does that mean they just kept pulling the hand brake until it worked????
