No one wants to see their porker like this......
Handbrake shoes in rear hub decided to implode! My own fault for not using it enough! Now safely in the hands of Quorn Sports and Classics for a major service, MOT, sort out handbrake shoe issues and a small amount of welding on the PSE!
Thank goodness for home recovery cover or the bill would be even bigger!
The symptoms were I went to move the car and it drove forward about 2 feet and then encountered some resistance as if there was a block of wood under the wheels - top tip here - don't press on regardless like I did. After that point it freed (I assume mechanism in rear hub went bang) and from then on a horrendous banging sound as the wheels turned - clearly not fit to drive thus the recovery.
Doh!
