How do we do the above ?? - NOT happy with it needing 6 'Clicks':(

Its only done 1500 miles BUT there are NO Fiat dealership's in LEEDS:eek:

With a very Poorly Mum- in- Law I am really not able to get to other Fiat dealerships.....Just so short of time last few weeks.....And IF I know where the adjuster is I amd fairly sure it will only take me a few minutes.(y)

Thanks for your help......
 
Hiya Fellow Qubist, Must agree that 6 clicks seem a few clicks too far......mine holds on a gentle slope with 1 click, and a more severe one with 2, never, even on Welsh hills used more than 3. Good job really, as I'm not sure if I could haul the handbrake lever up that far.
As 'philnicandamy' says, look for a more accessible dealer, or, have you looked on the technical download part of this site, it may be that the adjusting is the same on the Qubo as the Doblo ??
Hope you get it sorted.
Cheers Qube O....
 
As far as i'm aware the hand brake is like the clutch and has an auto adjust, if this is the case then you can only assume either the adjuster has got stuck, the cable has stretched, or your out of rear brakes.
If no self adjuster is fitted, then there may well be a manual adjuster fitted on the cable itselt.
When it comes to brakes and the car is still under warranty, pop it into a dealer its only going to take a few minutes to sort, and maybe you finding your car not where you parked it.
