It is true that lack of use will likely give problems with electronic hand brakes, use it or lose it as the saying goes. My 2009 3.6 doesn't apply the brake when in Park so maybe this is a later mod?

Just to backup most of the other replies,, my handbrake started squealing slightly a couple of days before we went on holiday,,, on the morning we were leaving it sized good style,, even the emergency release wouldn't work. Had to get it lifted to my indie while we were away. Just cost me for new module, discs, pads and shoes etc as they couldn't get the discs off even after cutting the cables. I was told I should make a point of taking the discs off at each service and have everything cleaned up as the build up of brake dust etc causes no end of troube 2010 RRS, TDV8

Did it again briefly today, not done it for a day or two. I`ve been told again that it`s probably due to lack of use. I`ve pm`d Bodsy a couple days ago, just waiting for a reply. Steve. |

Good advice, thanks. I was actually told that today, apply epb whilst in neutral....then select Park |

Well,,, to be honest I think no matter which way you apply the handbrake or not use it some of the time unless you remove the discs annually and physically clean, lubricate and adjust correctly it will eventually sh*t it's pants!! 2010 RRS, TDV8

Just done it again this morning when I got to work. Need to get searching and find a decent garage local to me and get it sorted. Steve. |

Quicker the better you get them adjusted and cleaned the cheaper it will be in the long run |
