Harvez Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Admins feel free to delete this after today but i need as many replys as possible and wont get many in the right section as here .... MOT tomorro and gonna try and narrow the list of 1,001 problems down a bit - How do i tightin up the handbreak ? is it a case of removin all the surround from the hand break and findin two screws and tighin them both up ? ? - Is there any easy way of re-wirin my horn? the metal plate behind the steerin wheel which is needed i have lost somewhere after i had all those problems prevously wiv the steerin column - Anythin else i should check on ? Eletric windows not workin thats not a fail is it ? and also a orrible crunchin noise when the cars cold everytime i change gear ( earbox ? ) would that fail ? Got brand new tyres, brand new discs and pads because they all just been replaced so already its cost me damn near to the 300 mark !! Thank you for this help, sorri if it seems rushed but i am in one Harvez (King of leavin stuff to last minute) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotteh Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 the handbrake might be a problem with the break adjusters being worn m8, if thats the case then it might well fail, mine passed but then agen it still worked slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvez Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 A mate is doin the actual MOT, but hopefully its not that, am i right in jst findin the two screws and tightin it that way, maybe if its worn i can get enough bite for it to hold slightly ?

plumber60 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 to adjust the handbrake you need to unclip the gover around the handle and just tighten up the nut, with the handbrke released of course. 3-6 clicks is the recommended limit Your speedo is a very big problem for the MOT, as for the horn you can wire it to a return switch temporarily mounted somewhere, it will pass with this method, Unsure about the speedo m8y, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrix Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Well i dont use the speedo in my capri when im racing as speeds irrelevant on a track.....fast as poss without killnig myself is whats important. But ive got one cos its street legal, without it it isnt. just glue a lolly stick to it, its only got to be there to give a reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3TER Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 didn't think you needed a speedo to pass the mot. BTW mine passed with no reversing lights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 LOL, that's just remined me of that song, "If I had a hammer" now u might think this is a tad random, but i've wondered about this for a couple of years now.... he says that if he had a hammer, he'd hammer in the morning, and he'd hammer in the evening, all over this land. Now i may be wrong, but i bet u a spade to a bucket of sh1t that if u gave this chap a hammer, fair do's, he may well hammer in the morning, but he'd soon be pretty fcuked off with hammering by the evening, and there's no way i could ever see him hammering all over the land any road up, on an ever-so-slightly more sane note, glad things are starting to sort themselves out for ya, Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
