Handbrake

[Dexta]

Hello,

presume in not the first to ask this but could not find it anywhere, how do i tighten my handbrake cable as it only holds the car when iv got it fully up and presume it should be biting after 1 or 2 clicks then solid on the 3rd. am i right. quite new to it all but keen to learn. any help would be appreciated.

hi there i did mine on monday if you lift the leather cover off the handbrake theres 2 bolts(on mine 1 gold colour and 1 black) at the bottom of the cable and just turn the last one(gold colour) until your happy,but i believe its between 5 and 8 clicks mines on 5 max and thats more than enough
