Excessive handbrake lever movement (possible cause)
I was going to start another thread on this and I still might!
Just had friend's ZT V8 Black Tourer in to repair his Sunroof sliding blind & Handbrake grip pointing skywards problem!
Now this beauty has only done 14k miles so no wear was suspected.
Both adjusters clicked nicely 2 clicks upwards to lock both drum/discs.
No problem there, except handbrake grip still pointing skywards!
Undid the torx screws holding in CD liner under central armrest, to see what was going on with the cables..........Noticed drivers side moving far too much!!
So it was off the driver's side caliper & disc to reveal the inner cable not connected through the lower fulcrum. It looked like it had been like this from the factory. Worse still it had just passed it's 1st MOT like that!!!
Rethreaded the cable correctly and handbrake is now fully on within 2 clicks & holds very well.
