Hi,
Yesterday I got in the car to find the handbrake stuck on, drove it about a bit and hit drum with fine tuning hammer, still not free, took drum off all looked ok and moving , put it back together and readjusted and it's still on the brake handle won't go down and I can see the cable flexing as it goes thru the hole thus pushing the handle backup I have adjusted the brake to not function and decided to try a new cable???? That's the first prob,
The second is does a 200 tdi bumper fit a 300 tdi, as leading from the above, iparked outside my gateway in a way i thought itwould not roll turned round to lock the gate , I left the car running as I also have a temperamental starter motor ,
Then I heard the tyresrun over gravel !!!! Made an attempt but as there is no handbrake I thought better of it it was heading thru the fence down a 4th drop on to level and then another 4th drop and gaining speed my land is about 300 m long and goes down about 30 ft , and is an orange orchard, amazingly as it shoots of on it's own getting faster and faster it shoots between a dozen or so orange trees which are only as far apart as the width of the car ,
Finally goes straight thru the large very wet veggie patch and finally smashes centrally into an orange tree,
My friend and I just looked on in amazement,
Took a few hours to dig it out and get some steel grid under the wheels , but eventually got it out just gunned it back out the way it came,
I have got the front back into some shape and looks ok minus the. Bumper and abs a bar,
Quite an adventure really,, anyway I know where I can get a 200 tdi bumper , are they the same as the300 tdi?? If not I was thinking of using the intact brackets and making one!!
And any advice on the handbrake
