The rear disc is also the drum for the handbrake hence why he showed her discs

[quote=""gmc15""]My X5 has just failed it's MOT on worn ball joint on front nearside and worn ball joint on offside track rod end
Garage is going to give me a price to repair on Thursday and re-test. Suppose these cars are quite heavy on the suspension though. Good news was that everything else was OK

Just got the car back after the ball joints were replaced - £110 all in
Another years test now on the car.

Nice one gmc15, that doesn't sound too bad, and sorry for thread-hijacking...
You're absolutely right Pewters. I hadn't realised the rear disk was attached to the hand brake hub. Now I have all shiny bits at the back with me new tyres and refurbed wheels (yes the disk looks a bit rusty because I've just washed the car
)
