After having got close-up to the brakes I can see that an upgrade will definitely be the order of the day at some stage. I managed to solve my brake problem by rolling the car backwards in Neutral and then pressing the handbrake pedal and it ratcheted ! It should get me through the MOT. The only thing is that now. I can here a clicking sound when I depress the brake pedal whilst it is in P ? after doing some research apparently this is normal ? Thanks for all the information.
