Hey guys, so I recently brought a daily just to get around with
its a civic wagon EE3, i picked it up for a pretty good price but obviously nothing is perfect
I went to get a roadworthy for this and because ill have to take it to VicRoads for an inspection, everything must be to standard (everything thing should be anyways)

The car was in kept in pretty good condition so no dramas on getting it besides one problem that im having a headache with.
Apparently i'd have to adjust my handbrake because it goes up too high, I have no idea how to do that, i've taken the centre piece out and im pretty much clueless on how to adjust it.
If anyone knows how might I be able to fix that it'll be great! :D

Also if anyone knows any good windscreen repairers in Victoria it would also help, I think i've got a pretty good deal, $230 for a new windscreen and new seals, and because there is a bit of rust underneath the old seals he'll also help me primer it up and yea..
but other then that any help would be great appreciated!

thanks ozhonda!

Take the plastic off the handbrake. you will see 2 cables with nuts. tight the nuts and see how much its good for you.

if its too high that could mean that you need new rear pads
Hope that's Helpful
