Having just fitted new rear discs, calipers and pads on the 400, after one of the old pads fell apart and badly scored the disc, I am happy to report that the handbrake now works properly. Now only 3 clicks on the lever and its on, and theres even some adjustment left on the cable. Surely this must be a first !

BTW I would not recomend fitting new discs and calipers as it is one bl**dy time comsuming and fiddly job.

No secret, just the usual adjusting, servicing etc.
