Default Rear wheels locks when engine cold
Hey guys so i am a pizza delivery driver and the last couple nights when my xj has been sitting for a bit and the engine cools down i will go to start it up again and the rear deiver side wheel will be locked up and i cant move without dragging it. If i stop and let the engine heat up to the quarter mark on the guage then it will work fine. It has not been any freezing tempts but it does only happen when its cold and rainy outside and the engine is cold. Anyone able to help me here?

The adjuster is too tight. Have them both equal and very light drag.

No. It's for the brakes. The e-brake works with the regular brakes. If it's adjusted too loose, you lose pedal and back brakes.
