Were the new discs/drums de-greased before fitting ? - they have a protective coating of grease on them which needs to be removed before fitting, so that the pads/shoes work properly.

Not sure, but the guy who did them is a member of various owners’ clubs over here, and is very well thought of in the community. He eats and breathes Rovers, and I’m satisfied he would do whatever is best for the car… certainly can’t see him not removing the protective coating
