Handbrake adjustment
« on: 13 July 2009, 12:16:01 »

Hi, can anybody help me pinpoint the handbrake adjuster? I have checked photo of it on the maintenance guide, but cannot find it on the car. I presume as you have to remove heat shields it is close to the exhaust system.

Thanks

Yes you do, and do not forget to adjust the  handbrake shoes at the wheels, not just by way of the central adjuster. ;) ;) ;)

That is the ONLY way to adjust your handbrake, no short cuts. ;) ;)
