My friend has a 2009 TDV8 FFRR and has been having some issues with the handbrake lever . The problem is it take two attempts of the switch before you hear the hand brake motor start to work . It releases fine any ideas

mine is like that but actually it just takes a second or two to actuate. If you just give it a quick flick the light comes on but the handbrake doesnt Geoff

I pull and hold the lever for a second or two and it seems to work. If I flick it then it'll let me crawl for about a foot and then come on harshly, which is just asking for someone to drive into you.

What are you telling us Geoff

Don't think I've ever used the handbrake

Better to use the park brake than risk bending the gear box park pin  2008 MY Supercharged
