lack of efficiency is usually the amount of drag from the shoes, i.e. glazed linings, naffed drums, in your case, having all new, they should bed in, the garage should have cleaned the drum faces as they come covered with a coating (anti-rust) and given the shoes a quick rub with some coarse glasspaper, all to increase fricton and decrease bedding in |

I probably get the rear drums adjusted every month on my TX2, and the front / rear pipes bled every 2 - 3 months for about £20. I've just accepted the brakes are crap on LTI taxis. |

agreed not a good idea to replace shoes and drums at test time,they do take some time to bed in. try driving about with the handbrake on a little,then clean them out and adjust the self adjusters. if it needs more you might get some out the cable. good luck |
