Hi All Quick question the the electric handbrake in my Series 1 VF SS-V Redline. Parked in front of a friends place this morning and put the handbrake on as usual, and it wouldn’t hold the car, which caused it to roll backwards, I was still sitting in it so no problem. Just got home and...

I not long ago bought a 1999 VS Bench Seat 5spd Ute. Being a bench seat, the handbrake is located down on the right hand side of the driver's seat, and drops back down when you put it on. As I'm getting it ready to be my first car, and other cars I've driven (around paddocks and what-not) I...

I have a 1999 VT Equip Sedan (Series II?) purchased from new. Ive been doing my own services for the last 10 years so nothing is a showstopper for me. Latest issue is the handbrake broke when I lent it to my girlfriend. The Handbrake Lever appears to now go right up 90 degrees and no hence no...

Hi all!! :) I went through 14 pages of searching for "handbrake" and wasn't able to find an answer to this specific question so thought i'd start a new thread. The handbrake on my WH is loose as a goose. If i reef is all the way up the car will still slowly roll in either direction and even...

Hey all. I had a mate service my car and change my brake pads and tighten my handbrake for me 2 weeks ago. Since then, after having it in park and taking off after being in park, my handbrake makes a thump after I release it and only after I start taking off. Anyone know what this could mean? Or...

The centre rod of the handbrake handle has slipped back down and become jammed in the handbrake mechanism. I'm guessing I have to remove the centre console to get to it but I can't see how to. I have removed the 2 bolts at the rear under the "junk storage" but can't see how or where to free the...

Good morning, Many moons ago when I had a DVD player installed in my VX (Series II Berlina Sedan) I was young and silly and asked the installer to bypass the handbrake wire to allow me to watch DVD's while the car was moving. I believe they earthed it somewhere. I haven't used the DVD part of...

Hey, having trouble with my VN Commodores 1990 handbrake. Originally the button got stuck and the handbrake was stuck partially on. Managed to "sort it out" (pulled the cable in the handbrake to disengage it). I do have the spring for the handbrake. So i guess what I'm trying to say...

Hey guys, I just encountered a problem with my handbrake. I tried to put it on and I could hear the brakes go on but it will not 'lock in'. The button stays depressed all the time and it won't stay locked by itself. It's always been a bit of a bastard since I got the car, very difficult to put...
