Handbrake!!

Hi, guys got to fix the problem with my handbrake as it's the only thing stopping me from getting the thing MOT'd. I have tried two diffrent sets of cables and both seem to be too long I have adjusted the yoke fully and still no good. Any one got any ideas as to what else it could be, the calipers are good as I have just refurbished them.

PLEASE HELP!!!

you do know that they cross over? the right hand side on the yoke goes to the left hand side caliper?

And i think the Original Renault Ones are a little bit shorter allowing for more adjustment? :confused:

Yeh sparks he's done the cross over bit still no luck!

i had same problem,new cables(same length as before,allowing for some stretch),new calipers,cables cross over,pistons wound out to a knats so i can just get pads in...
have now modded(shortened) the adjuster so to take up the slack,i should not really have to but thats what i have done..

:cool::cool:

Fit some gen renault cables & make sure the pistons are free/move ok. They only scrape 800 on the brake test when working right which is barely a pass in my experience!

Ok, guys had another crack and it seems as if the cables ain't locking into the yoke properly any one got any close up pics of how the fit/lock into it and is it still available from renault new??

you may need to use a screwdriver to open the two halves of the yoke slightly. the end of the cable kinda pops through it and the ferrule gets caught up in an L shaped extension off the side of the yoke.

I think I may be missing a part of the yoke as it will not lock the cable just pops out
