2003 ML350 Parking brake adjustment
The parking brake of my ML350 is very loose. It almost doesn't function at all. I am having a feeling to tight the cable. Any body can help me with some pictures/docs on how to do that? Thank you.

Checking one side might be sufficient. Then go under the truck and look above the driveshaft and you will see the parking brake mechanism. See if there are any loose or detached cables.
Then have someone step on the parking brake and see how it works. Then release.
Here is how things should look.

Remove the panel that covers the Parking Brake and have a look see. It is probaly the spring that is stretched or broken.
If everything looks good up top, then you will have to go under the truck to see if the cables are corroded and not releasing.

thanks
for your quick reply when you say in your reply that the spring has snapped
do you think it could be the flat spiral spring number two in the pdf diagram or the number 6 spring in the same diagram. if it is the flat spiral spring is it a easy job to do your self and is it expensive part to replace etc
