8 clicks is what I believe Rave to state, I had it all set nice 2 years/7k miles, can't believe it has gone bad so quick. I guess we will see if we can get it to hold again 12 months.
Well the little adjustment I managed to make kept the tester happy and I got my cert this afternoon so probably don't need to worry about it until next year.
Thanks for the input
Yup, I did that and booked it in for a retest but I suspect it won't be enough. On five clicks on the hand brake handle, close to the top it will hold the car in drive if you push the accelerator and hold it on our steep drive but it certainly...
Thanks Backinblack
When you say adjusting inside the drum, do you mean rotating the adjuster through the hole in the disk at 6 o'clock?
I didn't think there was any other adjustment inside, I put a new fitting kit on it when I replaced the drum...
Hello All,
MOT time again and got a fail on handbrake efficiency and reverse travel of lever. I just tried to adjust it up and it is better but not sure it will pass. I had similar issue 2 years back that was caused by the hand brake cable...
What is seen in 4x4 display?
This will show where the ECU thinks the wheels are. If a height sensor is at fault and the car thinks a suspension arm is lower than it actually is it will let the air out of each other corner to match.
This is...
If you are being advised not go above 30mph it is likely more than just a calibration issue. If you go into the 4x4 display on the dash is one wheel showing higher or lower than the rest? If not is the suspension completely deflated?
I put one of the above on my 2006 TD6 L322 after same issue, I thought it was a wiring repair I made but it was a duff sensor. Checking the wiring with multi meter pointed to the sensor. I think some of the aftermarket sensors can but put on...
Test the wiring with a multi meter, you should have three wires yellow/brown should have 5volts, yellow/black is earth to ECU so you get 5v between it and yellow/black. You also should have continuity between yellow/black and the metal work of...
Finally got time to look at this today, tested with a multi meter and the wiring is sound. Plugged in an old on side rear sensor and the car likes it so have to conclude it is a bad sensor. New off side sensor on order so should be sorted shortly...
The back goes up quickly but far to high, the display shows it down on the back corner so the car keeps pumping it up to try to compensate. Although now I deflated the suspension the 4x4 display is showing it at full extension hence the thoughts...
I only bought second hand sensor to get the rod, I soldered everything back up and taped the broken rod and it worked fine in and out of the shed before I changed the rod so thought the sensor to be ok.
I will check the wiring, my eye sight...
Thanks for the reply Datatek, I haven't had the sensor off just the rod between the wish bone and sensor. The car has been fine since Christmas when I put it back on the road just performed this odd action the other day. The sensor arm points...
Further to the above I had to get car out of shed, backed it out, backend up in the air still. On parking I deflated the suspension and on the 4x4 display all the wheels went up to the top except the rear right which went to the bottom.
Does...
Hello All,
Sorry in advance for the long post.....
My two terriers decided there must be a rodent under my 2006 L322 TD6 whilst it was in the shed having the rusty wheel arches repaired. Upon putting it all back together had a suspension fault...
