No, they are manually adjusted - the opposite to how you let them off! Just adjust them up until the disc can't move, then release them until the disc turns. Job done.

No they weren't cracked, I cleaned them up with a wire brush and they looked OK. However as I now know that they definitely aren't going to self adjust I will have to get the wheels off again to do it manually! |

I've had bad luck with my handbrake. Women!

Hi everybody, new to the forum. I had to replace the rear discs and pads on my friends 07 FL and on inspection the levers were seized on both sides where the cables go on. This had caused the handbrake shoes to stick on and crack badly. A while with a wire brush and good old WD40 sorted this out. Everything now working as it should.
