Default New Discs and Pads Needed For Hawk Eye 2006

Hi All,

So cutting a long story short I went to leave work this evening and disengaged my handbrake, put the vehicle into 1st, went to drive and the handbrake still felt like it was applied.... Little odd so i re-applied the hand brake and again disengaged it, still no difference.

Upon closer inspection of the brake discs, it appears to be slightly rusted around top part of the disc - thinking of just replacing all of the discs and pads... good idea or am i flushing money down the toilet?

Appriciate your help on this one

Tom

The handbrake on your car are shoes in the middle of the disc , and has nothing to do with the part of the disc you can see , it was more likely the pad was rusted to the disc which happens on times
