EPB / hand brake repair?

Having just had my second hand brake actuator failure ( 2 1/2 years and hence just outside warranty from the last failure) - failing with the death squeal I cannot face £1000 the local indi wants to replace the unit LR019223
On eBay guys are offering to repair the unit - either send to them for £150 or drive to Blackburn and work /parts for 350£ - it sounds too good!!

Anyone used this service?
Anyone in the south / Hampshire offering this?

Thanks

May well just need adjusting. Did mine at the weekend after the death squeal. 1 hour job, probably half that for a more competent diy-er.
Check out Bodsy's brake bible in the maintenance section of the wicky.

Mine just needed adjustment after squeal, no other cost involved. I didn't use it until the adjustment carried out, so didn't jam up.

As others have said (using Bodsy's Brake Bible):
Strip the Brakes
Clean the Brakes
Lube the Brakes
Adjust the Brakes
Use the Brakes

Is the actuator really beyond repair?

As others have said, chances are, it just needs adjusting properly. Thumbs Up

I see you're relatively local (Hampshire). Have you had West 4x4 take a look at it?
