handbrake

has anybody done a how too guide for adjusting the handbrake?

Mines going up a fair few clicks, thought they might have adjusted it when it was serviced, but alas they didn't Sad

I think its done via lifting the gator up, but an idiots guide would help Embarassed Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Oh no it's not - try access via the rear of the console, there's an adjuster there. 60 second job!

So I park the car on the flat, take handbrake off and twist away, sounds easy enough Smile Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
