Re: handbrake and front pads c5
if the hand brake is not holding the car on a hill you should not adjust the cables up till you know the caliper's are adjusted properly,
these are meant to self adjust in normal use but usually require added help, with the car on level ground ( garage forecourt ) or the likes,
hand brake of, engine running press the brake pedal hard 3 to 4 times, but don't stamp on it,
once it is holding then you can adjust the cables,
also when the pads get to the end of there life ( very low ) this can affect the hand brake performance to,
