Last year a shop replaced the rear brake pads and disks but since then handbrake never was like before. They kept telling me it will get better which I believed at the time but it never did. Last month I've passed inspection and they told me that the rear left handbrake was almost out of spec and I'd need to check it out although it passed.
So a month later I've bought a Bosch kit, sliders, pads, grease, toolkit etc and replaced the 1 year old ferodo pads. Now handbrake is like it should be and I'm happy with it but take a look at the old pads...
Both inner side alignment pins (caliper side) are bent.
Pros: handbrake works correctly
Cons: pins bent, poor installation

Check alternator voltage should be above 14V at 1500 RPM. Bosch alternators are crap anymore, I bought a new WAI global alternator, it has strong output so far. Only time will tell if it holds up.
Pros: strong output
Cons: time will tell
Bosch blades seem to work OK for me, there are things I was doing wrong before, causing premature wear (e.g., “dry wipes” to get rid of bugs or debris, being a lazy sod and using wipers to speed up defrosting the windscreen).
Pros: work OK
