I'll take a look in the Helms tonight and let you know. It's right under the cup holder. I'll see if I can translate the instructions or maybe someone with a Helms and a scanner could send you the e-brake adjustment page.

Jens posted a good write up on how to adjust the parking brake a while ago. Do a search for 'Jens H' and 'parking brake' and you'll find it.

I love my Helms manual. All you have to do is pull up the carpet inside the console. There is a little secret hatch for accessing the adjustment screw just pry it up with a screwdriver. The manual says to jack up the rear of the car, pull the parking brake lever up one click and tighten the adjusting nut until the brake drags slightly when turning the rear wheels. Then release the brake and check to make sure the brake isn't dragging. Simple. If you can't get enough adjustment out of that you will need to adjust it in the back. Let me know. Oh you will need a deep 10mm socket to turn the nut.

Ahhh very cool...I think I am going to get a helms and do it my self!!

**UPDATE ON PRICE**

So I went in today and talk to them...he went over the main parts of the service and all I am getting done is the tranny flush and the ABS flush. I am sure I don't really even need this stuff but I did have a 01 auto S and went through the messed up tranny...so I went with it...and I feel ABS is a vital part of stopping and I am about to make a road trip so I did that to...it will cost about 200 after its all and done.

I will change the cabin filter myself and do my own oil change and the rest of it is taken care of

So where do I get a HELMS can I get it from the dealer??
