Is there a regulation as to how much it should move before locking the wheels? Like how many clicks? MOT due in 2 weeks and it only moves 2 clicks since garage changed rear discs.. Will it be ok for the MOT like this?

Doesnt sound like it

Oh well that answers that then 😌... Trip to garage for adjustment before MOT then.

I meant doesnt sound a problem....read the book in the link

[vauxsull]

I did?? Think I misread it then 😁  and I am in work trying to read stuff on a cracked phone screen too

If its an Omega and applies in only two clicks it needs setting up properly

Easily done... just follow the guide on here

4-6 clicks is the target iirc

I think that for MOT purposes as long as the brake holds when applied and releases properly then you should be OK. 

It does sound a bit tight though.

Wasn't like that before garage changed rear discs.

Does it involve removal of heat shield?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Depends, first thing to do is check the handbrake cables and ensure there is some slack when the handbrake is released, if there is then no need to remove heat shields to adjust cable (but given the symptoms you have there wont be slack  )

[vauxsull]

I seee... So could be looking at several snapped heat shield nuts then on removal....

[Marks DTM Calib]

You can get to it without removing the heat shields with a deep socket (13mm from memory) on a couple of extension bars.

Didn't know this? This I like the sound of... I have access to a pit at work this Saturday so I shall have a play with it then... Along with wazzing up the rear brake pipes with some emery paper and repainting them .. And change oil and do front discs and pads....
