Let me know how you get on with the handbrake mod as I think I may be wanting to do that sometime soon...just wondereing how much upheaval it takes to do
I always park in gear as I don't trust the handbrake especially on these cars. I'm assuming the handbrake mechanism on the front and rear wheel drive cars is the same.

Did mine when I fitted new discs and pads a few months back. It makes a huge difference.
The worst part is doing the handbrake adjustment at the hubs. I nearly lost the will to live.

Think I'm going to take the plunge and order up the handbrake mod.
Did you have to make any cuts to the carpets or did they just lift out

I didn't have to cut, just lifted them up and got the wife to hold them out the way. Was fiddly tho (But i have small hands).
