Default bit of an expensive jae

jae got a whole lot more expensive on sun nite for me. was staying in services in telford when my hyd hand brake decided to release the pressure on the rear wheels
the car rolled down the hill and tore the wing mirroe down the whole side of a crysler voyager then kept rolling and landed on the grass after mounting a 7" high kerb
thankfully no one was hurt and the car stopped lust before the 2meter dyke that was behind the hedge. there isn't any damage to my car but the fright of gettin a phone call from the cops when asleep is enough.
now i have a very complicated insurance cliam on my hands and a hefty bill when i go to renew my policy

i did hear some russling in the bushes
i honestly don't know. there was plenty pressure when i parked it but when i found it on the grass the lever came up another 3 clicks. it didn't leak and i haven't had any problem with it last night but the lever is coming up a lot further than usual

Thats the danger of relying on hydraulic handbrakes, the pressure will eventually leak past the seals on the master cylinder, hence why cable handbrakes are essential.

Shame though, but at least no one was hurt
