Just like you should with a car with an electric handbrake.


Really, I've never done that with either of my electric parking brake cars - maybe I should actually read the handbook one of these days?

Depending on options the ARP4 was in the region of £60 to £62k.
Makes the 110 Works Edition look quite pricey.

No, that bit of advice wouldn't have been in the handbook, but when people started complaining that the handbrake wouldn't hold the car on even a slight slope, let alone a hill, the advice then trickled out, I suspect from the factory to dealers and on to owners. I have lengthened the leverage of the 'hidden' part of the handbrake lever, which seems to help, but out of habit I still put my foot on the foot brake. How it will work at MoT time I'm not sure, as the handbrake is tested on a moving roller?
