The best pal of the missus has an old honda jazz which has been a great runner for many years, however she says that the handbrake isn't working on hills. As usual I've been volunteered (press ganged) into helping.
I took it for a run and to be honest I can't find much wrong, you can't push the car on the flat with the handbrake on but if it's on a steep hill you can. Don't get me wrong, the brake still holds. I'm beginning to think she doesn't pull up the handbreak far enough. As it's a disc pad hanbrake I'm loathe to tinker with the actual cables Anyone any ideas on the one? ta much Will

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
