ok, now i know nova brakes are shit, but someone explain this....
i recently got an h reg gsi, with supposedly 'self adjusting rear drums'.. my arse.
the brakes were good and pedal nice and high (not long), until i had the brilliant idea to change the rear pads (while i had the drum off doing the bearings).
all went back together fine, and straight away pedal is long, ok i think, they just need to get adjusted and i need to adjust the hand brake.
do that, last for about 10 min and the pedal is long again, ok, take the drum back off, turn the adjuster so that the pads are closer (it hasn't moved since i put it all back together) (in other words.. do they actually work?) brakes are now good again for a while but soon the pedal goes long again and i just keep repeating this process.
what the hells going on??????
