Is the 4th gen handbrake known to be poor? Even after adjusting it seems you gotta pull it really high especially on inclines in order for the car to remain stationary. Do you guys experience this as well?

 

It's a common thing with cars that have rear discs and calipers, they are never as efficient as a traditional drum brake, you have to pull them up harder to get the same holding power, just something we have to live with.

 

Put the car in first,pull the ebrake, shut it off wait for engine to completly stop, let go of clutch and walk away.


Im not very trustworthy of the handbrake, so i just leave it in gear.

 

I used to leave it in gear too, so I was never really used to cranking the ebrake up all the way. Now i use a turbo timer, so i cant leave it in gear anymore, and one time my car rolled into a tree/bushes ****** my rear up.

Anyone know how to keep the auto lock off, after your turbo timer goes off? My car automatically unlocks, even if i leave it locked.
