The white plastic one over the diff? - that does both sides...



I find (as do many others) that applying your handbrake with your foot on the brake pedal helps.

If you take too much of the slack out of the cable the self adjusters won't work and it can make things worse..

Exactly...go for 4/5 clicks. The handbrake will still be c**p but it's the best you can do.
