hi
I'm just wondering how the handbrake work(I know that it works on the rear wheels!!)
I just wonder if it works on the disk-brakes at the rear wheels or is it a system with drum brakes inside the rear disks?
the reason for asking this is.. in Norway they use a lot of salt on the roads, and if you don't drive agressivly you mostly use the front disks when you brake... this means that the rear disks have a tendency to get rusty(at least on my former car).
If the handbreak is a mecanical system for applying the brake-pads on the rear brakedisks, a 5sek driving with the handbrake on will clean the discs.
rusty disks is not a big problem, but with 5-spoke alloy rims it does not look nice if the disks are anything but shiny.
