What's wrong with MOT times? 

How did you adjust the handbrake btw?

well just dropped her off,

adjustment's from inside the car , remove the rear ash tray and you'll find two screws holding the plastic
handbrake cover on, remove cover and pull off, youll see the adjusting srcrews now.
from memory use a 10mm spanner to losen off nut that sits agaisnt the other adjuster nut and there you go very
easy.

make sure when youve adjusted the cables they pull even on both sides, also note: dont do it so tight
it snaps your cable/s when you pull up on the handbrake (or you'll be back on here giving me grief LOL)

think with mk3's you should be getting 2 clicks or 3 at the max.

very early for me today so hope this makes sense 

Ah right.  Just that's not the proper way really mate. You need to take the drums off and adjust the shoes, just tightening the cables makes the shoes wear uneven.

1- easy enough
2- labourious ball ache but not complicated
3- simple enough if your shaft aint glued into the hub

better get on with it as soon as i have some money i'l get some of my mechanic friends to give ma hand

[Bellend]

Get your mechanic friend to check the bearings are gone as one MOT tester I know always advises them but if it has drums at the back, these types of bearings naturally have a bit of play and is allowed.
