I adjusted the park brake on my Grenadier today. It's a conventional three-cable system. A front cable connects the handle to a joiner that connects to two rear cables, one for each rear brake caliper. The joiner incorporates the system adjustment point. I could not locate a 2nd adjustment point under the park brake handle as is common.
The joiner is under the back seat. If you have the auxiliary battery and Smartpass option like I do then it's a fairly crappy job to get to it. It's under the Smartpass so that needs to be removed.
Park brake adjustment is via a 14mm nyloc nut. Very little of the nut is exposed so it's not easy to get a tool onto it.

I chose to remove the 4x under seat trim panels first because I will be adding a CTEK D250SA (non lithium) DC-DC charger and am investigating if a RedArc brake controller will fit under the back seat.

Both batteries were disconnected at the negative terminal. No issues when reconnected. All settings were retained and no errors presented.

Interested where you fit the brake controller thanks... I’ll likely try and fit the control knob between the gear and low range selector... may or may not be possible...

I am reliably informed that Ineos Australia has now developed and made available to the agents instructions on installation of the TowPro

Thanks Andrew. I sent an email to my agent this morning about that (and the unresolved $1500 APOD accessories discount for Veterans). I'm booked in to have my side steps fitted on Wednesday so hopefully the agent will have some good news on the Towpro.

Can you let me know how you go with the APOD discount please as I will be applying for that as well.

Hi Andrew, have you seen any of these agents instructions? If you have could you please share them? Thanks Simon

No I haven’t and Apparently this was only partly true. They do have technical information but because INEOS saw fit to leave out some of the pins from the trailer plug they are still waiting on sourcing an appropriate pin to use. I am now leaning towards having an auto electrician install and replace the trailer plug at the same time as the one INEOS has seen fit to supply isn’t really appropriate for Australia even if it had been properly configured and it hasn’t been properly configured

Thanks for posting this Clark Kent as my hand brake needs some
slack taking up. Parked
on the ramps and the brake barely held at it's limit.
