Why is the handbrake not working on my Renault Scenic?
So we called in the RAC who said it was probably the motor, he released it via the manual handbrake release. The handbrake will not engage now and lights and beeping still happen. I have taken it to an independant garage as renault wanted £50 just to diagnose the problem.
Why are my brake calipers not releasing properly?
Water and other dust can come into the handbrake wires and cause them to rust. This will cause the brake calipers not to release properly when you release the handbrake. To fix this, you can try to lubricate the handbrake cable and the arm on the caliper and move it backward and forward a hundred times to see if it gets better.
Why is my handbrake not working on my Laguna 3?
Like when you pull a manual handbrake a little too much. It does no longer auto release the brake, so I have to do press the brake pedal and then use the handbrake switch to disengage. This works just fine. When engaged, it is rock solid, does not move, so it is working as it should.
When to use handbrake or front brake caliper?
The handbrake prevents the car from rolling when the car is at a complete halt. In extreme circumstances, the driver can use the handbrake to stop the car when the brakes fail. The front brakes often play a greater role in bringing the car to a halt than the rear ones. This does not mean you should replace one and ignore the other.

Why does hand brake not go on Blink?
The easy suspects here are the fluid level and the handbrake switch. If there is a strainer in the neck of the reservoir you can be fooled as to the actual level and hand brake switches seldom go on the blink but worth checking.
