Sheefa Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Not enough Wheetabix in the morning mate. Mine's a right bitch to pull up......sometimes.........when I've been, you know, knocking one off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I just hope this is not the start to a whole list of problems!! just ordered eibachs aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Maz, I'm sure it'll be fine bud. In the grand scheme of things not a large problem and one that can be sorted by yourself. Will it deffo not pull up, something on the sleeve jamming the mechanism, a nut/bolt from the Isotta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi m8 got this out the MKIV manual, don;t know if its any help??? then adjust parking brake cable. See PARKING BRAKE CABLE. PARKING BRAKE CABLE NOTE: Parking brake shoe clearance on rear disc brakes must be adjusted before adjusting parking brake cable. See PARKING BRAKE. Parking brake lever stroke should be 5-8 notches (clicks) with a pull force of 44 lbs. (20 kg). To adjust stroke, remove console box. Loosen parking brake cable lock nut. Rotate adjuster nut until parking brake lever travel is as specified. Tighten lock nut. Install console box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
