I think that you will find adjustment at the end of the cable from the pedal.

I think the adjustment is accessible via a panel under the rear seat squab.

You don’t say if it’s the service or the parking brake that needs the adjustment.

If it’s the parking brake you are talking about the adjustment is underneath above the propshaft at the rear. If it’s the service brake you are talking about there is no adjustment for this they might need bleeding.

I take it this is accessible via raiding the rear seat base?

Who fitted your rear pads?

The reason I ask is that the rear caliper pistons should be screwed back in and not just pushed back.

Be careful adjusting up the parking brake cables, you can make it so that the rear brakes bind and before you know it you'll be spending another £30 on pads and possibly discs too.

It's an auto and the parking brake has always been fairly hopeless since I've owned the car.

Just want to know the procedure!
