Ah no mechanical sympathy.
Does the car have the handbreak as part of the brake caliper? Or shoes on inside of rear drums?

Ah no mechanical sympathy.
In the last few weeks I have discovered that she didn't know how a clutch worked (and thus why you shouldn't ride the clutch where possible), and that she doesn't look at the rev counter or even know how to use it.
I've also just noticed how high the clutch is on her Jazz, which is going to be a fun job to replace.

Rear discs with a shoe inside the rotor I believe. Top hat or whatever they call it.

So this is a fun one, had a couple drinks at my brother's house and begrudgingly let my wife drive the car home. I'm a bit tetchy about her driving quirks, one of which is her sporadic and forceful use of the handbrake when stopped or manoeuvring. Now the car is making a scraping noise when reversing. Sounds like something is caught. No noise when going forward. Brake shoe issue?
