#1: Handbrake loose??? Author: Razor34, Location: CroydonPosted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 7:23 am ---- Hi,
Just had my rear drums, cylinders, shoes etc replaced at the weekend. Garage said the handbrake will self tension itself tightener as at the moment I pretty much have to pull it the whole way up for it to lock on. Is this correct because never really had this with other car marques!!!
