« on: 06 November 2008, 17:56:39 »

hiya ,
 just wondering if anyone as seen this before,
 went to adjust my handbrake shoes and they are down to the metal,, completely worn out,, these type of handbrakes are the same as most vauxhalls but i`ve never seen them this worn,, i never noticed them binding .
 as i understand it all these shoes do is keep you stopped so why should they ware down?

hi there, i had a similar fault on my partners astra, whereas the ign light etc had a feint glow at times when it was turned off,it turned out to be a dodgey diode pack on the alternator, just thought id give it a mention

I was going to say exactly the same thing as above.

We had this problem with a Range Rover we had years ago, turn off the ignition pull out the keys and the ignition lights would all be on....
Turned out that the diodes were shafted which allows current to go back to the instrument bulbs. :-?

did you have to replace the whole alternator or just the diodes??? how did you diagnose the fault??
 cheers
