(No longer) URGENT East Auckland

[MihiT]

So I have the misfortune of being in Auckland, away from my tools, and worse, the twuk has decided to be sad.
Symptoms: 1- grinding noise when at very low speed on the brakes, occurs in gear or neutral, 4wd or 2, hubs locked or open.
2- difficult to reverse, same noise, will not roll backwards, even downhill in neutral.

No problem rolling forward. Handbrake locks the driveshaft just aft the box. So I assume not.

Went to 3 shops who couldn't get to it until tomorrow, of them Cascade Motors was the most friendly and helpful, in actually taking 5 minutes to even look, so a quick plug for them.
Thanks to mudlva for the offer of his garage, but ended up driving it home to mine and I'll get under it tomorrow.

So it was quite a while ago that I fixed this, but the FL inside brake pad had completely de-laminated, so it was metal-on-metal! on my 6 month old NEW rotor!
