Adjusting rear brakes and handbrake??

[magnus]

As i am new to the Saxo scene and this forum i would like to say hi to all of you.
My question now is basically if there is some article or write up regarding the adjustment of the rear brakes and handbrake ?
My car btw is a 2001 VTS and i am in iceland with one of only 2 Saxo VTS here!:gives:
Anyway any help would be appreciated!

As far as I know, you have to take off the exhaust to adjust the handbrake.

is this a uk version saxo vts as in 1.6 16v and have discs at back if so you cant adjust them

the handbrake is under rear of car you need to remove the exhaust heat shield and use a 13mm deep ocket and spanner to adjust

hope this helps

a haynels manual would be a well worth the money if you plan on doing anything to your car.

Couldnt agree more...But as i mentioned i am in Iceland!!!!!They dont even know what a Haynes manual is.
Anyway thank you all for your quick response!
The reason i am asking about the rear brakes is because i changed the pads bad since then the discs seem to be getting a lil more rust and therefore thought it might need adjusting. Guess i need to bleed all of them.
I am tryin to keep it low cost as i just had my gearbox rebuild and the cost here is stupid (labour alone was 1100 quid) and am tryin to show the Honda boys here what SAXOpower is!!!!
So any advice would be appreciated in regards to anything about improving the car!
Thanks in advance!!!!!
