Can I adjust the handbrake cable on my 92 LS400? I fitted new shoes to handbrake yesterday but couldn't get them to adjust properly.

I clicked adjuster round with handbrake off until hub stopped turning, clicked it back a wee bit until shoes were only just dragging and pulled on handbrake, no joy.

I think the cables are stretched or out of adjustment.

I ran out of light so I will have a look tomorrow at cables.

Any advice or info is very welcome.

Oh another thing, how do I locate the idle control valve?

Idle is 1100 on cold startup and settles to around 750 when warmed up, this seems normal (revs go up a wee bit when aircon is used)

I have found though when driving around 50mph at steady revs the cars stutters a bit, a quick press of the gas and it evens out, like it's running lumpy, best way I can describe it.

I intend to clean the throttle body and change the air filter soon.
