Sticking Handbrake

Post by baggieboy1888 » Fri Mar 19, 2010 4:01 pm

Anyone else finding this. Completely random, i,e, first thing in the morning and after 50 miles at traffic lights. Repeatedly pushing the buttom worked eventually but hardly ideal!

OK here!

You use that park brake at traffic lights? :? Haven't done that for years, especially that electronic one. :P

Um yes, particularly when the lights around here take forever to change. Am I missing something?

No your missing nothing - your doing exactly the right thing in using your handbrake in these circumstances. :thumbsup:
