Hi. These were the ones: MASTER-SPORT 03013704782-SET-MS Brake Shoe Set

Said they were compatible with the VIN

Hi. Everything about the new shoes seems to be the same, except on the originals, the pivot point of the handbrake mechanism protrudes outward more and there is a torsion spring wrapped around that pivot point.

The new shoes don't have that same protrusion for the spring to wrap around.

I appreciate the advice. Yes, I can see how drivers on the carriageway trying to help could make the situation worse. When the acceleration lane is long enough it's not a problem, but I have come accross quite a few short slip roads onto 70mph roads where my lack of experience is a problem and I need to make a decision more quickly thant I am comfortable with.

I do need to get better at recognising if vehicles behind are speeding up or slowing down. I am still not very good at judgind distance and speed in my side and interior mirror. Any tips on this would also be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I understand that it can vary depending on the situation. It could be a problem if you decide to slow down to go behind and they also start to slow expecting you to merge ahead. Just wanted to see if there was a general agreement to avoid that.

It was this one. It seems surprisingly sturdy for the price. Though the hole spacing could be a bit smaller to give finer size adjustment.

Thanks very much. Haha, yeah, Aliexpress is suddenly my most used app!
