240d 1982 parking brake constantly adjusting
I have a 240d with about 320k miles. My driveway in on a slight decline and I need to click about 6-7 times for the parking brake to stop the car.
If I adjust the parking brake, I might get it to stop around 4 click but in a month I'm back 6-7 clicks. Do the rear parking shoes deteriorate(similar to dry rot) over the years? Should I get new rear rotor/drums and a set of new shoes? Any ideas? Thanks. pete |

Thanks Dmitry.
The foot pedal has to click 10 times before it will stop rolling. I can't click it any more. I guess I will continue to adjust the shoes until it's metal on metal and I have to replace the rotor/drum. pete |

If you parking brake is wearing, it must be dragging. Maybe it's just a broken spring. When I replaced my parking brakes one spring was broken and that shoe was down to metal. Maybe you can catch it in time.
