seatkid Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Check the tensioning spring at the end of the centre cable has not come off. This is located under the car on the centre line just in front of the rear axle. Its common for the plastic bit that it attaches to part company with the cable/adjuster. Parts are cheap but need to be ordered if bits go missing. Photos, diagrams etc are in a topic by mumof4 Liberal doses of WD40 on the brake cables (cores) and particularly on the parking levers on the rear calipers advisable as these tend to get rusted/seized up and stick on causing premature wear of the pads/discs Edited July 19, 2009 by seatkid Quote
