i seem to get varying amount of handbrake travel when i apply the brake. some times it's three clicks,others times it can be as many as six or seven, does anyone else have this problem ? never happened on my 2.5 i had . :?
 
Yeah mines pants, first thing I took it to the dealer for 3yrs ago, but never much better.

My top tip - pull it up fully with the button pushed, then lower it. Then do it again and it should be a lot tighter on the second go.
 
thanks i will try that,its just that the m.o.t is due soon,i was wondering if that would cause a problem with the test ??
 
The first time I apply mine after a run, it will take up tp 6 clicks. When I release and re-apply it seems to be only 3 - is it self adjusting?
 
yeah, mine's rubbish. Won't hold on a hill. Sometimes 6 clicks sometimes less but always poor performance!

Had the exact same thing last night after a rather spirited drive.
