Tightening the Handbrake? Valver

[Waitey]

How do you do it?

The one on my valver is very poor. Rolling backwards on hills with it on is annoying me lol!!

Remove centre section heatshield.

You will see the two cables going to the adjuster, simply tighten the bolts till teh cables are taught, if you jack teh arse endf of the car up to get under it then you can play about wiht the tension.

Check first though that both rear calipers lock the handbrake cable on, its a common fault for the handbrake mechanisms ont eh clipers to fail

Waitey, pretty much as Lunner said.

Did mine the weekend but ended up fitting a new cable as the old one was shot.

Just watch out for the heatshield bolts, mine ended up snapping after a bit of persuasion!

I lost mine, had to order new ones :oops:

Also where the zorst pipe bends around to go over the rear beam, this part is pop riveted, needs drilling and and re-riveting if you don't want rattles
