Strip, clean, lubricate, reassemble and adjust correctly, will cure that issue.
Inside or outside?
Not to bad to do, but if you're keeping the car, make sure you get the correct OE plastic type boot, not a cheap rubber one.
I've cleaned out the brake dust hoping that would help, it's maddening - the handbrake is working.. maybe the fella was a bit weak
Outside, though oddly I polished the two of them at the same time.. one's still shiny and the other looks like a bad DJ was given a smoke machine
I'll be sure to get the right one, but right now the fail is a minor so I'm only concerned about the handbrake.. as long as that passes it's through
On anything big?Failed the MOT again for a laugh
Certificate expires tomorrow

I sat thinking If I need a non working rear diff recently also..
but then what happens If the madness of me goes and buys all the missing parts needed for 4 wheel drive..
OH NO
lol.
I had a very shiny rover 75 a few years ago, done a head off and rebuild after taking out its LPG in its entirety, was the petrol 1800 rebuilt with hippo H/D gaskets, new water pump, belts and Idler, drove very well, most impressed, but sold it on when my late wifes Skoda Yeti 1.2 SE arrived with its very good 7 speed auto box (motability car) arrived for her / our use, If only for just 18 months till she left us all/ Yeti went back..
Another Freelander 1 2002 TD4 pass MOT with one advisory allowed to venture on Manchester road once more.

When my hand brake failed it WOF on an imbalance a couple of years ago, I bought new everything - shoes, drums, cylinders, springs, clips. It cost surprisingly little even with the shipping of those heavy parts all the way down here (inside a week).Still just the handbrake, thankfully I've got replacements for everything worth replacing
That's not too bad. I'm doing the brakes on project Tonga tomorrow, in readiness for it's rearranged MOT on Friday.Mine passed today too. Advisories were drop links and a slightly corroded rear brake hose .
I've been trying out various cheap Ebay drop links on my SE, so I've been charging them annually.I'll be looking closely at the drop links this weekend.
I've now fitted Comline units which are guaranteed for 2 years.
