Hi all
Looking for some help on my 1992 200e A/T.
It failed it's local roadworthy test (MOT) today due to the rear brakes not working properly. All seems fine when driving and reversing as the brakes stop the car with no shudder, judder or any other "udder" , the pedal does not feel spongy and there is no apparent fade. Fluid reservoir is good. But doing a couple of tests myself, I have come up with the following:
1. Put car in D, release foot brake and parking brake on - car does not move
2. Put car in R, release foot brake and parking brake on - car does move
I have taken the rear wheels off and examined the rear brake pads on both sides. The pads look fine with about 4mm on each pad - but I could be wrong about the "fine" part! .
I need help as I need to get this sorted asap. Where, or what, could the problem lie? (Hopefully it is not an expensive problem!)
Thanks in advance.
