4: Somwhere in the yellow area, on the moving arm theres a bolt, loosen that, and pull the cable through more. that should move the pad closer to the disc, causing it to bite.

Aye!
Its funny cos people try and do it on there phone.
Like some people go, ive got a bike..... and you feel like going REALLY WELL DONE WONDERD WHY U WERE RINGING HERE.
or they think u can remember a raleigh that came out in 1973 and the colour and everything

it should be ok now, tomorrow im taking it to a bike shop to get it looked at, then taking it back if its in bad shape

did you get it sorted?

All argos and halfords bikes are like this... Just let someone who knows what there doing have a look. All you need is a a allen key (size 4 i think) and just make sure that the pad are close to the disk and tighten the cable
