We have both word in swedish, itīs right that you operate it with your hand, but itīs used for parking the car. >I always push the button, when I pull the handbrake. How can I feel it is >losing power with that? And how can that extend/save the lifetime of a >handbrake? I didnīt express myself clear on this point. You wonīt exactly feel if the brake is loosing power, but you will save the life of the wire (my neighbour has to replace the wire every second year or so on his Volovo 745 and VW Golf as he tears it off). > >:-) >Btw: I sometimes use the handbrake to turn about, because it's a fast and >fun way to turn. Does that shorten the lifetime of my handbrake? (don't >bother to answer this one, it just would be "a waste of valuable >bandwidth"). Donīt know, but theoretically it will. Itīs another question if the handbrake is dimensioned to last for that and/or longer than the rest of the car. Just keep in mind that you might tear the wire off. /Fredrik > >Spanks in advance, > >Jelmer de Laat, >Rotterdam, The Netherlands > >
