Drop down box on web page says item is for Merc or VW... but have to say it does look like a Volvo shoe/springs. I'd not chance THIS item. Cheers Bob |

Just one final question. What is the lever inside that the cable pulls on?

It is frankly dangerous at best not to mention expensive if it gets stuck. |

When it's all over and the handbrake fixed, make a habit of parking in gear with the handbrake off. If, like us, you tend to use the car intermittently, the shoes can stick to the drum due to rusting and when you pull away it stresses the shoe bonding. Few of those and you're back to changing the shoes again.

My drive is flat. I never (very rarely) park up for the day and apply my handbrake, for the above reason. Cheers Bob |

Best would be to mix these ideas. Don't park with the handbrake applied, as said above, but when you start your drive, apply the hand brake with one or two clicks for ten or 20 seconds (the first few meters).
Never applying the hand brake doesn't do good as well, it's the mix.

Thank you for all the tips. Will parking in gear without handbrake on damage the gearbox? I park fairly flat surfaces. Someone told me when parked on a hill it can slip out of gear and roll down. What gear is best to leave it parked like this? I was suggested the 2nd by a friend. Does it matter which gear depending which direction is the car standing on a slight slope? Lots of newbie questions I know but you guys are the best to ask! |

Parking in gear doesn't damage anything. A careless person bumping a car so parked isn't sending a fraction of the force the gearbox sees whilst driving.
If you're on a hill, turn your front tires into the curbstone if there is one. No need to jam the tire into the curb but being as close as you can leaves a potential runaway car with less room to gain momentum. Plain old common sense, you say? Yes. They teach it to you when you learn to drive stick in San Francisco as I did. (There should be an award for that) |
