I remember having to adjust mine when I changed the caliper and it not biting properly.

Hi, please how you gets this gap 1.5 to 3mm? When I pull handbrake on first tooth then see right side going first. Then second tooth right going more and left move 1mm, and on 3 tooth position right going again and left going 2mm. The right said on second tooth you can't move well, and left on 3 tooth still little move. Left caliper is new and from then I have proble How get left and right said go straight? Do I need unscrew something on caliper and pull so I gets this gaps 1.5mm. Thanks

Adjustment is under the centre console slightly behind the handbrake itself 10mm spanner to adjust L and R cables to get a 1.5-3mm gap If you need to replace cables get genuine I replaced mine with eurocarparts pagid They rusted very quickly
