Help! Handbrake problem E91 320D Tourer
Discussion
Here's the problem:
When parking on up-hill gradients the lever would need 7 or 8 clicks and looked like a stiffy.
On downhill gradients I'd release the handbrake and the car wouldn't roll and the brakes would bind.
Just had a new lever fitted under warranty at the local stealer, which seems to have sorted the up-hill problem. However, it's still not releasing on downward slopes.
What's the problem, the cure and is the binding why I only average 34mpg?
