I know this is going to make me sound stupid, so lets get past that please...
Ive today been given a 2012 Vauxhall Insignia SRI 1.8 petrol hire car, its got an electronic handbrake, I live on a steep hill and need to parallel park into a kerbside parking space. In all my other cars its easy, hold on the handbrake, select reverse, balance clutch and accelerator to take the weight, slowly release the handbrake and clutch and increase throttle, to smoothly reverse up the hill from stopped. Simples.
Now in the Insignia, I stop, engage the handbrake, select reverse, then i seem to need 3 feet, as the handbrake wont release unless im holding the brake pedal down, but that means i cannot use the accelerator... Help me please.
