Drove mine to Burton to change injector seals on me mates kuga 
Is that a case of taking the drum off is is there more to it?
Everything behind the disc is similar to any.
The main box is in the middle above/behind the axle. Not easy to get at
Properly adjusted then it should not get to the point of overwinding and jamming, my thoughts anyway.

How do you adjust, is that the same as 'bedding in'? Not seen anything on adjustment
Take off the wheel remove rubber bung and waggle a flat blade screwdriver in it. As I said same as any others in that end.
Lack of adjustment and getting rid of cable slack used to mean a few more clicks on the lever. Now it involves an over winding and jamming.
Just my opinion of course

I shall try that, What's the betting there's no rubber bung and it's all seized up??Take off the wheel remove rubber bung and waggle a flat blade screwdriver in it. As I said same as any others in that end.

Presume the adjustment is down to cable stretch over time, more than shoes wearing

From a 2007-2010 manual (it was easier) but its the same on our 2011.
Same as any other wind it on till you cant turn it then back it off so its "just there"
. You know that good old experience feel.Otherwise you may end up with something that looks like the 1s a few days ago

Took the Old Girl back to my current favourite garage in order to give them a few beers, when they asked if the new suspension arms had made the drive better I said "yes, but the steering wheel is just a little bit of centre now", I was expecting them to say that they will adjust it when I come in for my MOT in September, but they booked it in to be tracked on Thursday at which point I asked the owner how much it would cost because I am not made of money and he simply said "no charge".....what a pleasant change and a completely different world from the so called range rover specialists round the corner from where I live who charge £150 per hour for absolutley anything and everything!
Pardon put a what in itYou have a hole you could put a stick in if you want
