Re: I just bought a peugeot 406
I think mine were well bedded in because of the number of times I pulled away with the handbrake on.

Re: I just bought a peugeot 406
Peter, the wife can do it & she's very petite, four clicks is enough.
Just to show you here's a photo taken today in the Isle of Wight on the way to the ferry
Just to point out that's a very steep hill & the wife & boys are in the car all so if you look very close between the car & van you can see the vans handbrake isn't on, when towing a caravan around the Isle of Wight you need a good handbrake 
.
But to be fair you need a good handbrake to tow full stop

Re: I just bought a peugeot 406
Its in gear In my experience yours is exceptional, I have been involved with a number of 406s including three of my own and only one had what I would call an acceptable handbrake, my first one was practically useless even after I replaced the disc/drum, linings and pads and all three cables and adjusted it according to the book. What ever you have there I would bottle and sell it

Re: I just bought a peugeot 406
I had to replace the hbrake cable, the pads were ok, after that it pass the mot, but you still need to pull it right up...
Re: I just bought a peugeot 406
Yep, that's what I've found, if I adjust it up just before I take it for MOT it usually passes - except the time when he broke the long cable trying to get a high enough reading.
