Hand/footbrake

IanDouglas · April 25, 2005

Hi all, well I have to take my Gs to the garage wednesday (no charge for it). Its had all new rear brakes fitted, but for some reason over the last two days when I pulled on the park lever the brake light wouldnt go out on the dash , well not unless I pulled it in and out. But also today I stopped the car on a slope, pushed the park brake with my foot , but the car moved a little. Strange I thought, so I moved the gear into neutral .. and the car rolled forward. I phoned the garage today and they said to bring it down and they would do it while I wait. Ive never had this problem before so its a new experience for me. :D

what can cause this?

might just need adjusting as it has independent rear brakes for the footbrake so they should not realy wear out ,as for the light could just be a sticky switch

thanks mudzs, have to say though the garage have gone out of there way to make sure im happy with it, I really cant fault them at all :). well apart from the awful sticker in the rear window that took me 20 mins to remove :D

Well its all sorted, and no sticker . I really cant fault them. Took the car in told to stick it on the ramp and it was done, no waiting or anything.

I spotted a couple of minor scratches when I got home on the bonnet, Just old ones that I had missed out, so thought I would deal with them. If I had a pound for everytime someone says "oh polishing it again I'll be rich :) " If I let a car get dirty I get remarks if I polish it I get remarks dont these saddos have nothing better to do than watch me all the time :)

It must be the Lexus I think :winky:
