Schaks, what did you clean the inlet manifold with? Looks really tidy. I got oily finger prints all over mine from when I was trying to fit me low temp fan switch lol, and I am buggered if I can get 'em off. Doh |

righty, first things forst, don't ever arse about with the 2 nuts adjustment.
Its set in the factory and won't need sorted ever.
If it does and the pads are new etc then the cables have stretched.
Did you check the calipers themselves? Pop the cable off the caliper and move the lever with a screwdriver, it should move easily.
if not you need to free it off. best to take the pads out for this so you can get it swinging fully, a lot swing a bit then jam. |
