A little trick for some of you. If your rear calipers are abit weak (handbrake mechanism) and your MOT man lets you sit in the car and do the brake test...

Pull the handbreak up and press the footbrake too. Works everytime  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Oh well, I thought they only worked if the key was in pos 2 (or is it 1?? key turned but not ticked over)

Not like I check them myself anyway, that's what the missus is for  :grin:
