Handbrake troubles
« on: June 07, 2013, 07:31:32 am »
About two weeks ago i parked my car ( on a slight hill) outside my place. I came out the following morning to find the bumper against the small metal pole in front of me. Perhaps thinking i was just tired and parked really close to it. So i left it. Now i put it in gear just to be safe, so this morning i jump in the car and put my foot on the clutch to take it out of gear and it rolls forward! 

The handbrake lever is up at this point, i release it and put it back on then its working again. Im a little bit confused to be honest. Anybody have any ideas?

sounds like one of the rear calipers isn't holding properly-
