Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 24d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 06/11/07 04:13 AM Share Posted 06/11/07 04:13 AM My ute is almost 4 and a half years old and it's had the handbrake adjusted once when it was new and never needed it since.Get it done properly and there's no dramas with it. The problems only start when it's not done correctly, and yes, alot of dealers don't know how to do it properly either.

The problems only start when it's not done correctly, and yes, alot of dealers don't know how to do it properly either.Well my car has been in 5 times now over 2 months and 2 different dealers and is about to go in again, first 5 times was to tighten it which would only last after a few pulls and on the fifth time they got it right so I thought. now it has to go back in because the handbrake now works but now I have like a whine sound after every revolution at low speeds, plus I have always had the woosh sound.anybody know what I can tell ford as it has all benn covered under warranty but im kinda of sick of taking it to them for a handbrake issue Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39558-how-can-i-tighten-the-hand-brake/page/2/#findComment-592798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
