handbrake adjustment

Post by Dan22 »

hi,
does anyone know how to adjust the handbrake as its struggling to hold on slopes now.
got an mot next month so will need to be done before then anyway.

is the adjuster nut under the handbrake lever or is it at the back?

You have to do it from underneath the car then you have to adjust the back brakes....You might need a new cable though :)

If you don't know what you're doing it's not worth messing with...Just take it kwik fit or somewhere.

shouldn't cost you too much :)
