Interesting development: While parking this evening, I momentarily forgot that my handbrake didn't work, and I pulled on the lever. Surprisingly, there was resistance after 3 or 4 clicks. So I put it in gear and tried to move the car, and the handbrake held the car in place rather well! How is this possible? It didn't work when I tested it two days ago, and I've done nothing but drive a few miles since. Anyway, I suppose I'll jack it up and make sure the brake aren't dragging, and if not, declare it fixed. But regarding that point: should I accept any contact between the pads and the rotor when the brake isn't applied? Or is very light contact acceptable? John
