If you remove the handle, you will notice there is one larger black Phillips screw under the black plastic strip.

Engage the wheels and loosen that screw.

Slide the lower handle part back and forth and you will notice the wheels will reverse and go forward again.

Find the position where the wheels lock and unlock for you, and tighten that one screw again.
It does not take very much adjustment to make that system engage so do it in small increments.

You will see what I mean when you unlock that screw and slide the lower handle just a tad , but the wheels must be in the engaged position in order to adjust it properly.

Hope this helps!

2008 Dodge Chellenger SRT, Brakes are down to 6mm, do i need brakes

Vehicle and brake manufacturers generally say brake pads need changing at 3 mm and some which aren't very thick when new 2 mm is the recommended change point.

Vehicle repairers tend to use any excuse to make a little more profit but in the case of a car that does a high mileage which they are unlikely to see for a year does rather justify a change at 6 mm, though strictly they should obtain prior permission to do so.

I have experienced brake fade twice and both times was when I replaced brake pads shortly before holidaying in a mountainous region. Having learned my lesson I would now holiday with well-bedded brakes and change them when I returned home. Brake fade is definitely not funny especially when driving an auto.

ABS light only comes on when I make a left turn or U-turn

It sounds like your sensor in the braking system is going bad or is loose. I had a 2004 Dodge caravan and the sensor was around my brake pads.

My roller bush won't turn ever time i put a new

1) you need a little tight the belt, with the bolts of motor.
2) you must shure if the belt if NOT large or short( in both cases the rollers will NOT run. can be slip. or too TIGHT. and BRAKE the motor.
3) the motor you must test for brush, switch, or open winding.
4) put a little lube in the extreme of shaft rollers,see by turning at hand if they run of course unplugged the power cord.

Passat 2000 W Reg Had the rear brakes and disks changed then a month later had a front tyre replaced and as I drove off something went tinkle tinkle on the road (like someone had left a spanner). Week...

The ABS module has a history of wearing out on VWs. Nothing wrong with the brakes themselves, but the ABS module would need to be replaced to stop the lights coming on... but the problem is a new ABS module can be very expensive for a new one (~$900) or you can sometimes get a rebuilt one for a couple of hundred dollars.

While the ABS is broken, your car has regular normal brakes like cars have had for decades.

My wind tunnel keeps breaking its belt. The big one. The little one is properly attached. This is a recent problem so it has nothing to do with the rug height settings. I just broke two in the course of 15...

well will the brushes turn freely as they run in bearings if its got wool of cotton raped around the side of the brushs that will make them tight to turn and will brake every belt you put on it, in a flash,,,
the other thing that causes the drive belts to snap is the motor spindel is getting very hot and this lowers the life of the belts as well, every thing must turn freely, its only a big rubber band at the end of the day but they are pricy though

Roller brush doesn't turn

Sounds like the belt is maybe slipping did it brake the new belt as well?
