Failed MOT on handbrake -is one wheel (front and back) off ground enough to adjust handbrake or do I need both props off?
Cheers Guys

T/Box in Neutral and one wheel off.

Adjust drum then check to see if cable needs adjusting up.

Yep, type of gearbox makes no difference as long as it's an LT230 transfer box.

Handbrakes are pretty good normally, you may have a leaking rear seal on the back of the LT230 making the linings oily. Quite a common thing.

Thanks Peter -I will have to look ,just before MOT y'day,I was giving it some welly in drive to check handbrake and it suddenly jumped up an inch or so-and of course guess what it failed on.
Changed my autobox last year,maybe not set it up right from then-hardly ever use handbrake
