Their handbrake...
When the back drums have been converted to disks....
My car has got an Astra handbrake on for obvious reasons as corsa's dont have back disks... But I really struggle with my handbrake, it only holds if you really pull it up hard with too hands and then its too stiff to take it off. Mark managed with it when he had it as he has got big muscles and is alot stronger than me. He tried adjusting it for me but it seems to make it worse. Whats a girl to do....
