Last attempt to keep car when new little one arrives

[blue 4.5]

In order to try and get my wife to try and drive my car I need to try and make it as close to a normal car as it can get! :) One of the obvious problems is the handbrake, mine is sh1t and don't even use it anymore. I know you can get them tightened, but that seems to wear off after a couple of tugs. Don't understand how it cn be so difficult to make a bloody handbrake work (watching swordfish last night and laughed when the Travolta pulls the handbrake and the Tuscans wheels lock!!!) . Anyone have one that works and if so how does one go about getting it done :)

I'm looking forward to this reply

As far as I AM AWARE...

There is ONLY one man, who has a PERMANENT FIX for this!


Its our very own Joolz (Trackcar).
Drop him a line!


But if you find Sheffield a bit of a trek,
you could drive into Autocraft and ask them to have a look. Dont blame me if you drive out of there with an integrated rocket firing system though

I had a Joospeed© modification done to mine which made it much better. Still needs a firm pull on the lever but it holds on just about any hill.

I don't know exactly what Jools did though, which doesn't help you, but it does show that a working handbrake is possible.

Do you need some sort of invitation to get to Autocraft (heard they were on an army base) or can I just drive us there? I live 15 miles from them

Dave has a few good friends at a few army bases in that area who come in useful now and again. But they do also run a workshop on an industrial estate. Best thing you can do if you only live 15miles away, is just pop along, and have a good old chat with Dave. Tell him i sent ya!

Will do, only can do anything at weekends though, 6-8 work day makes weekdays useless Might give them a ring to check they may be able to help. cheers
