Thanks

firstly slacken the cable adjuster off under the car ,
There are small caps on the inner sides of the calipers which need a 5 mm allen key to remove ( Hint , tap them with a solid hammer to free them before you round off the allen key hole ) Once you have the cap off you need a 4 mm allen key to wind the adjuster in clockwise until the pads are up against the disk , then back off slightly so the disc rotates freely , it is ok to rub the pads lightly . .... then re adjust the cable so the lever travel is about 3 clicks ..
Problem points :
Any sign of brake fluid under the adjuster cap you need a new caliper .
If the adjuster is siezed you need a new caliper .
If the boots on the caliper end of the cable are torn or broken renew them after injecting some oil in to lubricate the cable . they are available separatly .
