    Hello Folks,

    Hope you can help.

    I brought my X type 2.5V6 for NCT and she passed except for the parking brake.

    The results were Nearside 0.540kN ( offside 2.320kN ) 77% imbalance.


    What are the correct readings and more importantly what do i need to do to pass the NCT?:confused:



    Regards,

    Alot of mondeo's(same car) suffer from sticking handbrake mechanisms on the calipers. Sometimes they can be free'd up but that usually only a temperary fix. A new caliper is the permenant fix.

    Thanks Nissan doctor,

    Any idea what a new caliper would cost to be supplied and fitted?

    Bit of a stetch there, the 2.5 x type is AWD, was there an AWD 2.5 Mondeo available?

    At a guess of the top of my head your looking in the region of €200 but I'd have to check to be sure.

    Not all x types are 4wd, they come in fwd too and the x type uses all the same mechanicals and platform as the mondeo.

    I've never seen or heard of a 4wd mondeo but a couple of the US models were available with 4wd.(the ford contour and mercury....somethingorother are all the same car too)

    But all 2.5 ones are AWD. A bit of googling reckons that the caliper off the X Type is the same as off a Mondeo Estate.

    Now why these dudes specify the Mondeo estate must be significant enough as you'd imagine they know their beans.

    You will get a non genuine calliper for about half the price of the original part from dealer. I know of someone that purchased one from motor factor and it was fine about 6 months ago. same problem and failed nct
