Has anyone got a guide on how to tension the handbrake cable? mine seems to have streched.
Thanks.

Take off the bit that covers the handbrake and houses electric mirror control (2 screws, under lid of storage compartment). You will then see the handbrake lever, where there is a cable with two nuts.
Backoff the locknut and tighten the nut attached to cable, then retighten locknut.

Cheers
