    Default Adjust brake pedal position

    Hi All,
    Well I picked up my delicious WH v6 in dark blue (yummm) this morning. Car is awesome to drive and I don't know how I did without the power in the Liberty, the WH takes off nicely even being a 1.7T beast!

    Only gripe The brake pedal sits about 1.5 inches further forward than the accelerator pedal, not only is is annoying and hard to get used to, but I can imagine dangerous if needing to jump on the brake.

    I've had a peek through the manual and there's no tips, so does anyone know how to adjust where the brake pedal sits?

    TIA

    I had a look at my Holden service CD and I don't see anything that would allow any adjustment.

    Nope, you can't. Short of bending the actual pedal arm. It's an issue if you are a heal toe driver but being an auto it shouldn't matter as you really only need to drive that way in a manual.

    Ah bugger, so no scope for adjustment on either brake or accel?

    Try left foot braking. Once you get used to it the difference in pedal heights won't be an issue.

    Nah I'd rather not, slowly getting used to it anyway.
