Hi all,
The handbrake on my VW LT van is sticking on. The garage fixed it for the MOT a couple of months ago (there was virtually no handbrake even at max travel on the lever). They said the mechanism was seized / sticking). It was fine initially, coming on after about 4 clicks. Since then it's got steadily worse with more and more travel to come on and not releasing properly.
Is there anything I can check underneath to free up. I've had a look in the manual and it seems a bit more complex than normal handbrakes that I've worked on before. (it's got back brake discs but with drums on the disc that the handbrake works).
Any ideas / info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Iain.
