I don't know where you get that impression Lizzie. I for one zoom in on any comments you make here.
Having read all of your posts, since I became a member it's obvious that you are one of a handful of people here that actually know what they're talking about.

Ah thanks Kneepad! :-* :-* :-* :-* :y

No, to be honest there are men who do not trust women on matters to do with cars as we can't possibly know anything about them with our brains!! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D

I try to prove that is a bad theory! :D :D :D ;)

lizzie the guide is "Servicing the rear disc and parking brakes" I thought matt wanted to adjust his parking brake? He will find that one star wheel is a little siezed and needs a squirt of WD and then he can adjust the shoes as necessary. If he want to fully service the discs, shoes, brakes, cable etc. then of course the guide may be helpful. I'm not gonna have a handbrake arguement, I've done everything you can possibly do with the whole parking brake system on the Omega, so I'll let matt decide.  Thought I might save him a totally unecessary PITA job & some money? Would you strip your engine down to change a spark plug, just to check everthing else is ok? probably not. BTW the guide say's to use the cable adjuster to adjust the bite... whooooops  :(

Here is the issue though.

An assumption is being made which has a big impact on the outcome.

Is the handbrake cable as it is today, correctly adjusted (and sadly many are not).

Hence the advice to run through the whole guide is the correct one  :y

Phew!

I wouldnt say this thread was getting heated, but shall I say, the nip has certainly gone out of the air... :y

It's enjoyable reading alternative opinions. There's no such thing as a 'too thorough' job, but alternatively you can, of course, waste time on unnecessary excessive tinkering....

Having just done a handbrake, which requires a little more fine tuning yet, this has been a useful thread to read. Ta fellow oofers.  :)

I love it kneepad, bit of a dark horse ay, you've got the moves kneepad, I've got the six pack, we'd make a good team  ;) ;D :y  And I'm damn sure lizzie wants to spank me...... but probably straight on the jaw :-? ;D ;D
