Can't adjust handbrake
« on: July 14, 2010, 18:01:41 »
At the moment the handbrake on my 1987 3.5efi auto works but only engages on the first click and won't go any further, i believe for the MOT it should travel about 3 clicks, if you know what i mean. I have tried adjusting the square bolt on the face of the hand brale drum but doesn't make a difference, any ideas?

Thanks, Paul

Someone might have used the cable adjustment in error, try the haynes manual for a better description.
