DM & Prof,
A lot of adverts state "Cam belts done" so the question to ask is when and at what mileage was it done. Oh, and was the oil pump replaced. Best regards,

David I'm sure you probably know this already but.....

Whilst on your search for another D3 don't just take the vendors word for it that the belts and pump being changed. You want to see evidence of same such as invoices or the old parts, better still both!!

No evidence of work carried out, or service/maintenance records, walk away! Thumbs Up

Profsr G,
Totally agree and yes I know the advice - however, it's always worth re-iterating as this great forum is always attracting new members. Thumbs Up

Stripped down the nearside EPB and found that the cable is snapped.

Now what do I do!

Do I just buy a cable (they are expensive)! and fit it or would I be better off getting a new module or what?

HELP!

As its the n/s cable If I recall correctly you can replace it without too much heartache.

Firstly strip off the n/s hub and detach the cable as well as the cable lock nut behind the back plate. Then loosen / undo any cable ties between the back plate and the EPB actuator. Unscrew the nut holding the cable into the EPB actuator and then unscrew the inner hand brake from the actuator!

Replace the cable by screwing the new inner cable back into the EPB actuator (I think this is 5 turns but someone else will confirm) Reconnect the cable to the brake shoe arm and readjust the shoes as per Bodsey's brake bible.

If you're going to do the o/s cable that one is a hook type, and can be a bit tricky to get off and back on especially if the car is on the ground.

Just seek confirmation on the number of turns for the new cable as its important!

Thanks PROFSR, very helpful.

I've cleaned the offside and reasembled it so I'll just replace the N/S cable as per your instructions.

I'll rummage around the internet for the number of turns or wait for someone on here to give me the info.

Thanks

Remember where people tend to get stuck here is on the adjustment of the shoes. So pay particular attention to the expander lever and it's lock screw! It's all in the bible!! If you mark the cable with tippex and count the number of turns it takes to release it that should suffice I would think.

After cleaning them I've successfully (I think) adjusted the shoes on the N/S IAW the bible, using a torque wrench etc.

Thanks for your help.

Cables are easy enough to replace. Drivers side is easier than passenger side

Bolts will likely be seized into the suspension tower, and get a new captive nut for the front fixing Thumbs Up

Thanks Mike.

I have ordered the passenger side cable, it's going to take 4 or 5 days to reach me.

I did the driver side yesterday and the cable seemed to be intact. I've re-asembled it all now on that side.

I'll have a look at the captive nut and squirt some penetrating oil on the bolts to see if they will budge.

You need to get back to work!

Ok.

I have the new cable and have tried to remove the old one.

Unfortunately the plastic part had seized but I managed to cut the cable and chisel off the plastic bit.

Now I am left with the metal part of the cable sleeve seized into the backplate and I can't see how to get it out!

Any help gratefully recieved!

That back is plate shot! Personally I wouldn't be fitting anything to it other than an angle grinder.

I'll stick the wheel back on it and bring it over.

When can you fix it for me?
