182 Handbrake sticking on

[ren182]

Hi i have a 54 plate 182 which so far i have found great,the only thing is that when the car is left for a day or two in damp weather the hand brake seems to stick on,does anyone have the same problem??

Cheers

dont worry mate

its with the bad weather

all cars with rear discs get this! when the disc gets wet the bind on every so slightly

when you reverse or pull forward do u head it come undone?>

yep, just the rear disks and pads sticking together by a film of rust.

You could just leave it in gear instead of using the hand break.

^^^^^like he says, i get this when i wash the car and then dont drive it for a day or so

Everyone gets it, as soon as you pull away you should get a little clunk which is the pads being freed from the disk.

Mine does this too... They may all do it but it cant do the the discs/pads any good surely?! I had it happen with my old alfa 146 (rear discs as well) 3 years ago in the winter but this time they stayed stuck... nice £300 bill... at Christmas too!

No worries mate, like everyone says its just what discs do when theyve got wet, I bet it doesnt do it when its dry...

Glad to know its not just me then!

My car is parked on the drive, on a slight hill, so i get this every morn. Nowt to worry about. Also find I get a slight clunk from the clutch (you can feel it through the peddle) once ive moved a few yards/fully released peddle.

Anyone else get this?
