handbreak not working properly

[ayresy01]

Hi, i have a VG ute and i am a bit confused about my handbreak, it workes fine when facing downhill but if im facing uphill and apply the handbreak it just doesnt work. it just doesnt make any sence to me.

Thanks.

how many "clicks" before it engages?

 

[ayresy01]

There are 7 'clicks' until it engages but it just doesnt engage in reverse, only going forward.

Might need a tighten?

 

[ayresy01]

i have tightened it already but it made no difference. thats what got me confused.

Hi I have a VP wagon and its the same. Also it squeaks all the time at low speed since it doesn't seem to retract properly and if you pull it on while you're going forward it grabs really badly. I hesitate to use it as an emergency brake because you'd have no control on it whatsoever.

Sorry I can't help with your VG ute.
