Afternoon all, well I had my doubts and it didn't disappoint me
Failed MOT on handbrake/EPB gubbins. Established that the mechanism in the boot is activating on/off but is making bu$5er all difference at the wheel.
Am I correct in assuming that there is a 'thumbwheel' adjuster through the disc on these, or is that for older models. I don't have the time to sort it so I'm in the hands of the Halfords Auto Centre if it's an easy fix.
Is it pretty straightforward to diagnose cable/mechanism/shoe mechanicals as per any other fairly standard brake set up - OR is there a gotcha with the EPB controls?
If the cable will tension and release in the boot - is it just a question of troubleshooting down the cable until you find either no motion at the drum end - or no friction on the drum itself?
Cheers
Ian.
