So the old bus passed her MOT!
Two sticking handbrake calipers - Freed and a pass.
I'll let you know the damage when I pick her up later.
Just as a I was thinking I'd have to find another Ultima too 
Geoff
£130 and 45 of that was the cost of the test

It is possible to remove the handbrake actuators from the calipers and clean them ,grease and refit .... its needs a little patience and dedication but everything is possible . if you look HERE and THIS PICTURE it might help expalin what I mean.

It is a continued source of amazement to me that autobox drivers never use their handbrake,hence seized actuators.Whenever I take on another Scorpio based funeral car,one of the first jobs is to disconnect that irritating park lock buzzer so that the drivers tend to use the handbrake more often.
