Not all of them had the adjuster nut on the lever itself; certainly not the D8's.threepot wrote:HI GUYS. attempted to adjust h/brake today,didnt see any adjuster nut on h/brake lever? My car is 1999 2ltr hdi.
As Lozz says you'll have to crawl under the car to get to the other cable adjuster; it'll probably be rusted up if not touched for a while so you may have to replace the cables.
