    Assuming you have a hybrid? Always check the auto adjusters or manual adjusters first (neither work reliably) before adjusting the handbrake.
    If the auto adjusters don't work, the hand brake adjustment may not work as intended.

      Yes a hybrid. Neither auto adjusters work, the offside broke off altogether and the nearside is not engaging. However the MOT tester was happy that the handbrake adjuster was adequate.
