Handbrake problems

Recommended Posts

Hi

My Hand break seems to only work after I pull it past what used to be the 4th\5th click (no clicks any longeruntil the tension kick in) then I get tension. It is very cold up here at the moment so not sure if something has frozen or if I have snapped one of the cables or what? Is there anything I can do to check what the problem may be or is it best just to book it into get a mechanic to look at it. :oops:

 

Cheers

sounds like your cables gettin slack. they can be adjusted, tho i think its a bit of a pain. if i remember, the correct setting of a corrado handbrake is full pressure on the second/third click. they;re not meant to come up that far.

to adjust the cables you have to remove all the centre console which is a bit of a pain to do a 5 minute job of adjustind to cables
