Title: Handbrake issue...
Post by r33per on Oct 10^th, 2006, 3:51pm

Got this annoying problem with the handbrake. When I'm on a slight incline, facing in either direction, and I engange the handbrake, it does not always hold the car.

Does anyone know what the problem is here, and is there a way to fix this?
