Hi,
I appreciate that this has been discussed many times before but would welcome any advice on this please.
I have owned the car (2007 CRD) for a couple of years but the parking brake never seems to work that well. I understand the previous owner of 7 years hardly used the parking brake. I have the MOT soon and am not sure it will pass on the parking brake.
Most of the time when I tread on the parking brake pedal, it goes 'clunk' in two or three positions and the pedal goes a good distance towards the floor.
If I tread really hard it does hold the car to some degree but certainly not on any kind of hill.
Should I be hearing a 'clunk' when I tread on the pedal?
I have read about the actuators and adjusting the parking brake in the rear hub. What are the things I should be doing with the parking brake in regard to regular servicing?
Many thanks.
