hand

Can anyone please tell me how to adjust the hand brake on my LWB A-160? :confused: The handle is nearing the top of its travel and it is due an MOT soon. I do have some mechanical knowledge, but I need a starting point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, The Handbrake button on the handbrake lever has split and the front of the button has popped off. This is just cosmetic but bugs me to death. Is this an easy job to fix and are there any custom handbrake levers for Mercedes 190 (87) :confused: tia

Can anyone tell me, is it possible to have a 3 button key reprogrammed for a different car? I have been looking at how cheaply they sell on eBay and need a new fob. Are they hard coded at the factory or can a dealer set it up for your car using Star diagnose?
