i haven't got a cable yet,but i work in shrewsbury.whats up?

Every so often it cuts out (still running just no throttle response) so could do with finding out whats wrong and my remote central locking keeps blowing the fuse??

But just doing things for the mot at the moment:

Both front (rear bush) suspension arm bushs..

and its failed on handbrake not efficient enough checked the shoes and look fine??

can you adjust the handbrake cable from under the car?

what model ibiza you have scott?
on my old gti you could adjust the cable in the cabin,undo the handbrake surround and there it was.you say the shoes are ok,so i am guessing you got drums on the back?can't be certain on drums personally.
And i am not sure how much you can "see " with vag com on early seats

Hi i adjusted the handbrake cable from inside last yr as it travelled to much.. its at the maximum now (inside). Its a 1998 R-reg ibiza tdi salsa.. yes drums at the back.. took them off tonight the one side and it looks fine alot of shoe left so gonna check the other side tomoz but assume its ok.. might have to ring the garage up as not sure what they mean as the brakes seem fine..
