Bazzzza Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 Hi all, My 06 galaxy mk3 has just passed its mot but the guy said that the handbrake was too loose. He said he could adjust it for us at a later date. Am I right in saying it is automatic adjusting or is there a way of tightening it myself. Any help would be appreciated.. thanks.. Baz. Quote
Bazzzza Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Posted August 27, 2011 Anyone??? The handbrake lever does come up quite high so i think it does need adjusting. Anybody know how?? Thanks Quote
lewie Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Anyone??? The handbrake lever does come up quite high so i think it does need adjusting. Anybody know how?? Thanks I konw on my Mk2 when my lever used to go right up with no handbrake , i got a large spanner (22mm i think) and moved the arms on the rear calipers (where the hand brake cable is ) up and down , whilst appling some spray grease to the arm area, The adjustment is where the 2 rear cables join the main cable from the hand brake handle, have a look under the car and you will see what i mean Quote
