Well I was wondering how you put a handbrake in neutral..

Gears in neutral, yes.. Handbrake off, yes.. but handbrake in neutral?

Just thinking about this Stu - Perhaps you can get Markii and Matt over to lean against the car in the evenings, would be much cheaper and seeing as how you work em hard anyway Im sure they wouldnt mind! s:wink: :wink: s:wink: s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Ok Ill shut up now

Nic, I think you're clutching at straws here in an effort to cover your early morning faux pas!
... and if that's what you're like at 10.30, I think it's very sensible of you not to leave the car in gear overnight! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

I seem to recall this coming up in the past, possibly on SC or here;

The conclusion seemed to be that you'd get the brakes all nice and hot, whack on the handbrake, the brakes cool, contract and bingo.. no handbrake.

I tend to leave mine in gear now, just in case (though I drive like a granny, so it's never been an issue -- yet).

yeah i've heard of that before, oh well, i'll just leave it in gear from now on s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Jspec won't start unless you press the clutch in, could look at what parts are different and add them.
