Title: Handbrake catching
Post by: Black9 on May 15, 2012, 12:53:12 am

So just tonight went for a drive & noticed when I push the button & let the handbrake down it doesn't go down smoothly. Feels like its catching on something. Makes a clicking noise when it's catching on the way down. Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what the prob maybe?

Very odd one, went out today after work to find the handbrake catching again... Almost feels like the button isn't pressed in fully. Any ideas what it could be? Maybe the cable needs adjusted?
