|  New rear pads/disc - Handbrake not that good? Recently changed the rear pads and discs (600 miles ago) now the handbrakes is poo. The lever makes around 4 clicks with is ok. When on level ground with the handbrake on you can't drive off. But if you wanted to pull the handbrake at speed (say 1 point turn  ) it does bugger all.What have I forgot to do  also fluid has been changed.
