Guys, I've got an issue with my handbrake ('05 Mini).
It had gotten quite loose so I had it tightened and it was all peachy until I parked it on my drive for the day and it's become loose again.
My drive is sloped so I'm assuming that's the reason as it was tight before I parked it. I pull it quite high as if I nudged my car slightly it rolled backwards a little.
What's the solution? Park with the rear at the top of the slope instead of the front? Leave it in gear (or will that wear something more expensive)? Upgrade the shoe?
Any help appreciated
