Went have a look to see what was causing the brakes to bind on slightly and found that the brakes are definitely needing replaced. I know they can be ordered up on the internet but as time is short can anybody say if the likes of Kwick Fit stock pads and shoes.
Thanks

Re: Binding Brakes
After recent experience, I'd avoid KF, unless you want a tyre for a Micra or your air con to be screwed up.
Its likely to be either handbrake shoes sticking or calipers needing a clean up. Any sensible garage should be able to sort it for about an hours labour charge.
