Just wondering if maybe the springs have slipped from when you got your bearing done?

 

ive no idea but the handbrake was working fine till a little while ago :search: i was being a hero and trying to fit my isotta handbrake sleeve and when i took it off from lock it wouldnt lock again?

Hi m8

 

got this out the MKIV manual, don;t know if its any help???

 

then adjust parking brake cable. See PARKING BRAKE CABLE.

PARKING BRAKE CABLE

 

NOTE: Parking brake shoe clearance on rear disc brakes must be

adjusted before adjusting parking brake cable. See

PARKING BRAKE.

Parking brake lever stroke should be 5-8 notches (clicks)

with a pull force of 44 lbs. (20 kg). To adjust stroke, remove console

box. Loosen parking brake cable lock nut. Rotate adjuster nut until

parking brake lever travel is as specified. Tighten lock nut. Install

console box.

 

:)
