A common fault with the Auris is rear brakes rubbing and squealing. Simple cure seems to be dismantle, clean and grease rear of brake pads.
So I thought I would have a go and looked for simple instructions on t'web. Looked and looked, found sites like just answer which give instructions for Auris drum brakes but my Auris and I think all of them has disc brakes!
So can someone please point me where I can find instructions? If not I will have a go without, how complicated can it be?

It's a piece of pi$$ if you know your way around a set of spanners.
2 points though.
1. Don't disconnect the brake pipe as you will have to bleed the system.
2. I had a a Land Rover Discovery and I disturbed the ABS sensor and had to go to LR to get the system reset. Thankfully they did this for free but most companies will charge an arm and a leg for "diagnostics". So do not remove the ABS sensor and be careful not to disturb it too much.0 -
Thanks both, sorry wrong forum perhaps Mods, those lovely people, can move it?0
