Shes just flown through her MOT as usual with handbrake strong and adjusted correctly.It does have an annoying trait though which means if i park on a slight downhill slope for example it will roll forward a fraction before locking firmly.Now its always done this but im concerned it might cause gearbox damage eventually.
Reason is my tourer is an auto so i stop,select park then apply handbrake.Thing is when i use car again i sometimes get a clunk when shifting from park through reverse.I suspect the slight roll forward leaves the gearbox slightly out of sync or something and im worried it may cause problems eventually.
What i do now is select neutral then apply brake before shifting to park...this stops the clunk.
Guess im asking if its a common and if theres a way to apply handbrake and elimenate any roll? Maybe my handbrake needs service/replacement?
Any thoughts or advice welcomed!
