ok, ignore this guys
just adjusted it by tightening the torx screw that is located by removing the plastic window on the bottom floor of the arm rest compartment
Just as well, because I'm sure that one member on here would have suggested you change the whole breaking system, just to be on the safe side.
The V70 (mk1) had an access hole through the rear hubs (throught the wheel bolt holes) to re-tension the hand brake shoes.
I'm sure someone could confirm this?
But it is an alternative if you're out of adjustment on the cable.
no badger those S80 estates are totally different mate you need a decquadroheganol star torx flat phillips tool to adjust them, but make sure you first replaceQuote:
