Thank you to everyone!
I took the rear wheels off, gave the drums some gentle but definite persuasion with the hammer. Then wire brushed the rusty bits off and hey presto - all is well.
Thanks again
Davey
Righto, will do!
Hi Casper
Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go shortly.
Is there anything in particular that I'm looking out for - is it like a clamp/shoe/block that may be rusted to or 'stuck' to the disc/drum?
Thanks again
Dave
Hi everyone
My Scudo only gets used 2 to 3 days a week and can often sit idle from Friday afternoon until the following Thursday morning. This has been the case for about 6 months. Prior to that it was used daily without this current issue.
I tried to use it yesterday, however when I go to pull away it feels like I've left the handbrake on and the back wheels are pre-locked and just get dragged along by the front wheel drive.
I've tried reversing it and then going forward - this has freed the driver's side rear wheel but not the offside. I asked the local garage for advice, they said it could be the handbrake cable locking through lack of use. They suggested taking the wheel off, looking for the cable mechanism to see if it is jammed. Also possibly just giving the drum brake (?) a clout with a hammer to free things up and then leave the handbrake off until I get it fixed. They implied that the van should be fine to drive if that works......I need your help here guys!
I'm not daft, I'm practically minded and methodical but I'm not a mechanic - any advice would be very welcome.
I'm a part time gardener so I have elderly clients' gardens to attend to and I am also a NHS Responder simply due to the fact that I have a van and I want to help with medical deliveries or shopping whatever
Thank you in advance
Dave
