Re: [doc] Eeeek Help !

["Paul" <aqzj73@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hand brake discs I have NOT changed. Ive just had my handbrake tightened up 
because it was very slack.

The I cant tell if the disc are getting very hot, but they are definately 
warm after driving 4-5 miles, but I guess thats normal.

The car did tend to pull a bit to one side until I had the new front 
bearings replaced and my tracking done. But now its fine.

The judder "Seems" to be coming from the front, as I can feel a slight shake 
through the steering wheel when Im braking. There may be a judder coming 
from the back, but as I have little feeling in my body apart from my hands, 
its a little hard to tell.  :^o

Paul.
