Is like an ARP4 without cosworth préparation ....a handbrake that only works if you put your foot on the footbrake before applying the handbrake.......  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?

What was the price of an ARP4 in comparison with the latest +4 WE Depending on options the ARP4 was in the region of £60 to £62k. Makes the 110 Works Edition look quite pricey.

On Aston Martin Vantage you must do that but I dont remember doing that when I try ARP4 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?
