Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild
Only an Oriental mind could have designed the rear brake assembly. Work or fail is entirely down to the condition of the lip seal around that shaft connected to the handbrake cable.

Re: 16v Probe not idling, stalls instead
I believe that a VAF has already been suggested and I’m sure Duncan has a spare, But if it doing it when hot I would also suggest that the Fizzy is on its way out.
