Not a good day for the 4200, or me.

Which pads did you buy? Sometimes the the aluminium in the calipers corrodes and expands which prevents the pads from fitting correctly

Very sorry if I caused any confusion here, I meant to say shoes not pads. The pads I have just had fitted based on SM advice and part numbers, fitted perfectly. But the shoes had the locating pin holes in the wrong place and were much wider. As I said above, got the correct ones from Eurospares in 24 hours, so right now I also have one of the few 4200 with a hand brake ! New discs fitted and an MOT for 12 more months. I was also lucky to get a rear shock within 24 hours, so very happy. Just need to get the damage corrected that was caused while in for the service, not a major deal in the big picture of life.
