I was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem i have. When i pull up on the ebrake it doesn't do a whole lot.. Not sure what happened, i know it needs to be ajusted just need to figure out how. If on a hill will slow car down, but wont stop from rolling, so its pretty bad. All pads are good, with metal masters...

I'm not sure if this would apply to the 240, but on my previous car i had to take out the center console so i have access to the ebrake handle, and there was a little screw where the cable was, tightened it up and that fixed it for me.

does the E-brake pull on the disk calipers or do you have drum style parking brakes under the rotor like a Z?
