Is it dangerous to rely on a faulty parking brake mechanism?

Yes, a parking brake that doesn’t hold reliably is a genuine safety risk, especially when parking on a slope — repair promptly.

Can this mechanism be adjusted instead of replaced?

Yes, in many cases adjustment can restore proper holding force if the components themselves aren’t worn out — this is often the first thing to check.

What is the mechanism made of?

Steel components (shoes, springs, adjuster) working within or alongside the rear brake assembly.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
