Default Any info on adjusting front disc brakes?

Hi,

The bike I have (which arrived this morning) is a Jeep Comanche from
the UK Argos catalogue:

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...productId=83862

I've never seen a disc brake before but when I
looked at it (peering down from over the top of the handlebars) I
could see the left hand pad but nothing of the right hand pad so that
applying the brake looked as if it would catch the housing on the
righthand side.

I stuck an allen key behind the spokes to adjust the most obvious nut
determining how far the righthand pad extrudes but it came out at an
angle - so that when I applied the brakes it 'bent' the disc to the
right (only slightly of course) and I dunno if this is normal!

Don't know much at all really, which is why I would appreciate any
advice - are there any web tutorials which might help?

Regards,
