how do i tighten or adjust the handbrake cable ?
any DIY?
yup i used the get this noise too -
Firstly , try it by pulling the handbrake up firmly ( more than usual) so the rear pads lock harder. Jump in the car , does it still make the noise ? If so IMO the cable is loose.
you need a phillips head screwdiver and abit of time.
pull out / up the arm rest/handbrake cover (should be 4 screws) - and you will see the back of the handbrake. There is 1 10 or 12mm nut which bascially you turn to adjust the handbrake cable tension to the handbrake. Slight adjsut and you will feel the handbrake getting stiffer(to pull up) and ajust to suit. Do not adjust too much.
