Hey guys
Pulled up into a car park today, pulled up the handbrake and the car started rolling backward D: At the moment i have to pull it quite tight for it to hold the car.... Where do i start in terms of adjusting it? :s Thanks, Liam --------------------  |

There is a hole on the rotor that is made so you can adjust the parking brake. Turn the rotor so the hole is at the bottom and put a flathead screwdriver through horizontally. The inside of the parking brake will look similar to this:
 That notched pieced will actually spin and either push the pads apart or bring them together. You will pry up or down(depending on the side) to push the pads further apart, and thus be tighter to the inside of the rotor when you pull the parking brake.
