Blair Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 mine was doing it too bout a week ago.I took the trim off and seen it was a bit loose anyway, so tightened it and was fine - had no probs since.Bit weird tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz's GlanzaV Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Yeap i get this aswell, as soon as the weather turns cold, the handbrake sticks on, but find its usually only on one side. This was pretty evident last night stuck on last night, disk got way too hot so stopped to throw a bit of snow on it to cool it down, was a bit of interesting driving before that, most corners i came to the car started to brake free into an over steering stiuation. But yeah it pisses you off when the handbrake sticks on when its cold weather. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
