Awww, let it roll. It'll be one of the few times it moves wivout a tow.

Fookin' far better way to claim on the insurance for it than settin' it aflame... they're much more likely to believe yers

FFS Ming... it's a Freelander... you make it sound like the "Microsoft Car(tm)"

Joking apart make sure you follow the instructions to the letter or you'll end up with binding brakes.

Oh...and make sure if you decide to change the rear shoes that you route the cable correctly for the handbrake.

Mine was an interesting one - when I bought it it had a full years MOT. Great you think....not. Parked on a hill and thought oh oh this handbrake should hold on less clicks so round one of adjustment started. Nope no better. Braking efficiency was so poor on the n/s/r that it should not have passed MOT.

Removed rear shoes - fitted new - refitted in the reverse of how i had took them off (after all no reason to suspect any faults there) - 1 x totally seized up adjuster. 1 x handbrake cable routed incorrectly. Free up and replace adjuster (over night soak in diesel sorted it - def should have failed that MOT...) fit new shoes after reading manual.

Re adjust handbrake - sorted. Handbrake now stops my commercial vehicle brake tester on 3 notches!

Oh if only I were female and actually read the RAVE manual first!! Plus I would have 2 x something else to amuse me.......

ps i notice that the freelander has two types self ajusting and manual for the latter this wont work!!!
