Hey up guys, hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. My handbrake is only applying onto the nearside wheel.

Hi all,

Is there a genuine VX armrest that can be fitted with a manual handbrake?

Hi All,

Are there any common, known, or even 'admitted' handbrake problems on Mechanical handbrakes?

Today, my wife came home, parked on our drive as normal.. put the handbrake on, then, after about 20 minutes, the car rolled backwards into our wall in an almost single movement, i.e., not over the 20 minutes from getting out of the car!

No, the car was not in gear..... Had that polite "I told you so" conversation and amazingly I survived

Cheers

Hello

My handbrake is not working, the braking cable gets tight and compresses the lever on the brake caliper but nothing happens. (This tells me that there is nothing wrong with the electronic handbrake but rather the brake caliper itself) This is on both wheels. The lever I am talking about is pictured below. My brake pads are in need of a change but they have quite a few miles left in them and this should not happen.

To me it seems like the brake caliper lever gets depressed to the maxi
