View Full Version : Handbrake sticking
Basically on me 93 Nova when the nearside gets wet and I then leave the car parked overnight or at work for the day then it gets stuck on. Not much a quick forward and backwards or a few extra revs and I get the reassuring clunk that its then come off. Then though for the next few minutes when I break I get an odd sounding bbuurring noise from the rear.
So what is this buring noise and how can I stop the handbrake from sticking? Is it an overhaul and a few new parts or something else.
Ta

Sticky hand brake cable had some issue on mine. less that ?20 for cables. and bit of time pulling the drumb apart to check and fit them jobs a gooden
