Hi,
can you adjust the handbrake cable or do you have to replace it, and is it easy to do, if any one can help i would be greatfull, any photos ect of how its done.

Also looks like i have a small leak from the bottom of the gear box, has a clear fuild which drips now and again, any ideas on what i do here, dont know alot about cars, but have been putting all the offroad gear on it, and changing some hose, brakes clippers ect ect, so im happy to keep doing the work on her, but need abit of help in whats going wrong.

Many thanks if you can help.

The hand brake is adjustable. I don't have pics, get the RAVE manual. The leak, only you can tell where is coming from. You get a picture, then we will see.

There is a link to the RAVE in my signature. Get us the pic like leadfoot says and we will see if we can help. Clear liquid in the area of the power steering gearbox may indicate someone put the wrong fluid in the power steering system. If so we need to identify it and correct the problem. If not we need to find the leak and address the problem. Hang in there. If you are willing to work on her and put forth the effort everyone here can help you with the knowledge part.
