00 1.2 making noise when braking - gvmllr
hi all i had my rear brake shoes changed a few weeks ago,also had the handbrake adjusted as it wasnt biting. since then whenever i brake i get a tapping noise coming from the rear left side of the car. my mate has had the rear left brake drum of and all seems ok,i.e none of the springs have came of. all intact. could the handbrake have been overtightened. he adjusted it via the rear drum and also inside the car just behind the ashtray in the rear..any help is very much appreciated..

{W reg, that'll be somewhere around 2000 then?}

Slacken off handbrake fully then adjust shoes then nip up cable to approx 4-5 clicks only not 2, then all should be ok.

Are the wheel cylinders ok? not seized or sticking? hand brake cable is free in sleeve?
