The adjustment is all used up. Agree though that drum filth can more often be a problem with autos because of the little use the handbrake gets in many cases.

Ah, but was yours 20,000 miles only.

Normally the cables get stretched because the owner doesn't know how to get over the problem.--Just simply keeps pulling the hand brake up until it's under his armpit.--

Self inflicted injury.--

--One of the R75s little foibles.--If you have the knowledge then the cables don't get stretched.

When you become a member of this forum then this gem of knowledge gets passed on down to you.--
