Adjust parking brake cable "right hand drive"
Hi , a few days ago I posted a thread re parking brake adjustment.
Got an answer "great" but...
we put the car on a hoist .... and could not find it ( as seen for left hand drive)
there seams to be a different mechanism for right hand drive cars
we found the cable coming from the right hand side near the tunnel , but nothing to adjust
There must be a way to adjust a slack cable ..but where is it located ?
thanks and best regards

Like I said, the cable runs down the tunnel. You need to remove the heat shield from above the exhaust to access it.
There's no adjustment to be had in either left or right cable. It's on the cable from the pedal and is forward from that piece you've labeled in the centre of the car.
