WS handbrake

[Franco Cozzo]

Hey guys, my handbrake won't hold the car on a steep incline anymore, is that just an adjustment issue?

Thanks much.

If your car is manual, you should put the gear in first which should hold the car, in case the emergency brake doesn't work.

It is, but if you want to do a hill start you gotta ride the clutch or she'll just roll back unfortunately, I'm going to take it to get it serviced, I'll ask them to do the alignment on it.

Yeah, you gotta ride it since it is a hill start. Best bet to get it looked at, I am sure it wouldn't be of a big deal though
