Car failed MOT today on rear brake efficiency, it needs new pads too. They said something about adjusting the cable out to the stops of the caliper to get the best out of them. Can anyone shed some light on this please.________________________________________ Team Diesel |

Lol he said make sure I fully slacken the handbrake adjuster then pump the peddle and make sure the cable stops are right up against the arm. No idea what he's on about either.________________________________________ Team Diesel |

I do, he means the handbrake cable inner swaged fitting, slacken the cables off, mash the pedal ( after freeing the load compensator) so the rear pistons self adjust, then take up the slack in the cables.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
