Not over fond of the electronic handbrake personally,will check mine and see if is ok.
Automatic handbrake
About 2
weeks ago I was sat on a steep hill at some lights and I put the handbrake on
but left it in drive ready to pull away. Took my foot off the break pedal and
the car started to roll backwards. Yes even with it in drive. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
fficeffice" />
Took it to
the local VX dealer and after I had to show them what was happening they took
it in and after about an hour all was fixed. Apparently there was a pipe that
had got bent and was not allowing the handbrake to activate even though you
could clearly hear the noise so the motor was working.
How a brake
pipe could get bent is beyond me. Also I've noticed now (and it might have been
like this before) that when the handbrake is applied it feels like only one
side comes on as the car seems to sit on one side. Bit difficult to explain but
if anyone could try there Antara and see if the same thing is happing I would
be very grateful as I think it might need another trip to the workshop.
