Default Loves lieing garages.

Been to a slightly more trust worthy garage that I have used for around 5 years and have worked on my families cars for the past 10, they looked at the rust and gave me a price of £65 and then tested the brakes on the rollers, they found that the front brakes are fine! I also monitored the readout and both read fine! So god knows what they're going on about that. They then tested the rear brakes and they were totally out of balance.

They are now sorting the welding and rear drums, the drums were actually leaking at the cylinder and were causing slightly more travel in the pedal. But it was only minor, otherwise they're now balanced up and reading correctly.

I'm going to grease up the sliders up front, then wind the piston back and ensure it works as it should and isn't seized, and just generally clean the brakes so it makes it look like they've been taken apart! If they're fine theres no need to fiddle imo.

As for the cat I don't know what to do there. I could fork out £50 and fit a new one, but considerring I want a decat anywho it seems foolish lol!
