    I'm having a weird problem again..... Handbrake this time.

    Right so stupid elc handbrake

    Several times in the last two weeks. Im sure I put the handbrake on, it's like a natural reflex.

    Go out to it (luckily I naturally leave it in gear) and the handbrake not on.

    Is it possible just to "go off"

    I know I'm 100% sure I put it on yesterday and I'm more aware of it now and went out this morning and handbrake off again.

    Please tell me it is possible and its not me being stupid.

    My drive slopes down, many a night I click handbrake and it doesn't engage. After time your so used to quickly flicking the switch it doesn't always engage. Won't take you long to start clicking it twice.

      I do click it twice, and I know 100% yesterday it came up on screen and says its engaged and this morning it was off.

      The bay I park in slopes and cars park on opposite side of road so don't want to find my car side on into my neighbours.

      Might get it looked at

        You did say Frank said your brakes wanted doing anyway. It's a big heavy car, maybe it's just down to that.

          Possibly, I'm my tired state that never even occurred to me, handbrake = normal brakes.

          I'm an idiot at times [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

          It's going in for them in 2 weeks so hopefully that will sort it
