Handbrake Cable

[matt_hillyard]

Hi all,

I have never had mind adjusted and a mate said that if it pulls up with more than 5 clicks its not tight enough!!!! :o

If this is true is it a hard job to do?? If so how much would i be looking for a garage to do it!??!?

Cheers,

Matt

mine pulled up with like 12 clicks, yet it still helt tight. your buddy may have an incorrect assumption going?

someone been doing too many handbrake turns eh ;)

i dunno dev, i think uk handbrakes have to be made so, not to sound stupid but like they say, 3 clicks is about right, 6 and over and you need to adjust it badly...i can get away with 2 clicks on the cynos, the paseo after doing the autotest, about 4 / 5, but the cars in saudi arabia need loooooooooads, but the roads are pretty much flat there...the patrol is like 8 / 9 clicks

hmmmm, ok, i think i'll get a garage to have a look and see what they say!!

Na not handbrake turns, parking on my gf's drive as its on a !Removed! great hill!!! I do keep it in gear aswell but the handbrake doesnt seem to be doing its job thats all!!

Cheers ppl!

usually there is an adjustment in the the handle .. but sometime you need to get under the car and adjust the cable lengths ..
