I have a Hymer based on a 2007 Fiat/Alko chassis. At MOT time last year it only just scraped through on the handbrake efficiency so on my son's recommendation I used a mobile mechanic to adjust the brakes before this year's test. I watched as he removed the disc to reveal the shoes in the 'top hat' drum, the shoes were fine so he went under the van and adjusted the cable from the adjusters there, then adjusted the shoes. According to the MOT results today one side 16% efficient, the other 13% so it failed.
As the shoes are fine, adjusted as far as is possible can the fault like with the cable itself stretching?
Anyone else had the same problem?
