Audi a4 b6 handbrake has to much travel

[michaelmcdougall]

Hi i have a audi avant 2004 b6 that just failed an mot on the handbrake having to much travel it works a little but wont seem to adjust tighter i have checked at the caliper and it seems to be moving in and out as the handbrake is used but just won't auto adjust any tighter any help would be appreciated thinking it might need new cables

Easiest thing to do is put new pads on the rears. But if not new cables as they may just be stretched. Either fix us not expensive though!
