    Morning,

    Just getting ready the car's yearly MOT/roadworthness test. It passed last year without any major work but did have a couple of advisories as per below:

    Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
    • Rear Brakes imbalanced requirements only just met. It would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair. (1.2.1 (b) (i))
    • Nearside Front Service brake binding but not excessively (1.2.1 (f))
    I'm guessing it's just "the brakes need fixed a bit" but has anyone had similar issues and had any particular problems getting things fixed ("oh you can't get the widget/thingy bit/drum brake pads for these any more...")?
