Thanks

i would think this would be on Rave [link in wiki] ... - .- -.

although doesn't cover cable adjustments (Rave says self adjusting!)

Here is what Rave says for '03 FFRR:

Quote:

Adjust

1. Raise rear of vehicle.

WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always support the vehicle on safety stands.

2. Remove rear road wheels.

3. On each rear brake:

4. Remove adjuster access plug from brake disc.

5. Rotate brake disc until access hole is in the 6 o'clock position.

6. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, turn brake shoe adjuster until resistance is felt. Apply handbrake several times to centre shoes, re-adjust if required and repeat.

7. Ensure handbrake is released and check disc will not rotate.

8. Back the adjuster off 8 notches, check disc is free to rotate.

9. Fit adjuster access plug.

10. Fit rear road wheels and tighten nuts to 140 Nm (103 lbf.ft).

11. Handbrake lever assembly is self adjusting and will correctly tension cables. However after adjustment apply handbrake several times, release handbrake and ensure road wheels are free to rotate.

12. Lower vehicle.

Before adjusting it as above I would suggest taking the drum/discs off and cleaning out the glazed dirt that seems to collect on the drum surfaces and the shoe surfaces. Makes the handbrake much more efficient.

"the enormous amount of glazed dirt"  .
