    Default Handbrake Issue

    The handrake in my VZ only grips right at the top when it is pulled up, is this supposed to happen? It's really quite nerve racking when attempting a hill start and it is not pulled on hard enough.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    pull the large circular flap back under the seat, and theres a nut which you can tighten to shorten up the handbrake line. i think the nut is a 9mm one. put your car on a flat piece of land, lower the handbrake lever and pull the flap up, you'll probably see the handbrake cable is loose.
    You'll work it out mate.

    Who uses the handbrake anyway when not parking?
