shiiiiiiiiiiit
on the plus side, looks to only be the bumper?
RE: 306 Handbrakes - rocker8742 - 12-07-2012
yeah bumpers got a small dent in it but thats all tbf i think its just rolled down very slowly
RE: 306 Handbrakes - spike2002 - 12-07-2012
Had this a few times on my 306 always leave my 6 in gear esp when on a hill
atleast its only the rear bumper by yhe looks of it so a easy fix if you can find a black bumper
RE: 306 Handbrakes - samass - 12-07-2012
sounds pretty lucky man!
RE: 306 Handbrakes - Matt - 12-07-2012
Lucky it wasn't the panel above. It's a bitch to repair. But easy to get another bumper so lucky there mate!

If you have rear disc's on a 306, always, always, always leave it in gear as it will roll away on even the slightest of slope, the disc handbrakes are shit!
RE: 306 Handbrakes - Eeyore - 12-07-2012
looks like youve been lucky with that one!

Never had a problem with mine! Held solid on like 3 clicks and never rolled away.
Had nothing but problems with drums though.

seems to be holding fine now on the same click it was when i left it
on the bright side the dent in my bumper has pushed itself out and now is just a small crease above the number plate light

Might be a knackered ratchet in the lever that occasionally lets go.......I had to change two of mine as previous owners obviously can't press the button to apply the handbrake!! 'Clickclickclickclickclick'

I have bad history with handbrakes lol
