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!

Now..... to dispel or acknowledge the obvious:

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