Being both a keen … and mean … amateur mechanic, he decided to try to fix the problem without rushing it into, and paying out for, his local garage.

Graham works through the steps involved in diagnosing the problem, taking the front braking system apart, and acquiring and fitting the necessary replacement parts needed to ensure the vehicle is safe and will pass the next MOT.
