Just changed the rear discs and pads on my '03 multipla. All seemed simple enough but now the driver side handbrake doesn't seem to be working...grrr!! Does anyone have any pointers for what to look at??
 
are they self adjusters, if so has the mechanism seized.
 
Most modern disc operated hydraulic hand brakes require an initial setting by winding the rotating part of the piston to a close tolerance to the disc, if the hand brake is not operating it is normally wrong initial adjustment, if it is cable operated it is generally a seized part of the mech at the wheel end.
