Aahh! "Practice". Sounds so much better than "training".

So it's not the button. That's engaging the drivers side fine and that calipers releasing fine too. So it's a new passenger side caliper I need. Unless there's something in the switch that would be broken just for the one side? Yay, nay?

So its looking like £9 for a button. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yiding-Electronic-Handbrake-Parking-Button/dp/B00P2C9ZP2/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1423668003&sr=1-1-fkmr3&keywords=VW+passat+push+button+hand+brake And/or £200 for one caliper. Looks like the motor and caliper is one unit? https://www.autopartsuk.com/BRKH-HY/Volkswagen/Passat/all/1.9/2007/Diesel/CA2883/Brake%20Caliper Might I as well just change both calipers at the same time, going on the rule of, once ones gone the other wont be far behind? Also, change the button even if its not broken, just because its old, and pretty cheap anyway? f**k it - Might as well to the f**king timing belt while I'm at it eh. Can you buy those on Amazon?

Cool Ads, cheers, ill try this. Those three things did come to mind at the time. Yayee, I'm not a complete noob Another thing ive been told to try is disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and giving it a go again? Kinda sounds like, "is it even plugged in" kind of advice but ill try anything once - but I wont do that. Ba dum...

Loving this. Like the idea with the screen and the fakie nose manual had me giddy. http://youtu.be/a5oq2ADszL0

Haha. No. I waited till it was clear and dragged the back wheels up off the road to a quiet street and parked up. Yup. Reverse parked with the hand brake on. Thug life.

Car noob back in here for help/advice please boys. I was sat at a set of lights this morning and the parking brake fault light came on. I tried to pull away but the parking brake wouldn’t release. It’s one of the push button types. I hadn’t pressed the button on, it just locked up (felt like just on the one side) So I then pressed the button and tried to pull away like normal hoping that would clear things. It Didn’t. Restarted the car etc. Still wouldn’t release. Car is a VW Passat.

Got a few PBs on strava last night Ended up like Hank in Me, myself and Irene with cotton mouth though.

f**kin right.

Anything Saracen - EVER. (Apart from maybe the newer style MAD frames which look like small mtb frames - they're ok)

Is that 8.4 without a chain? Forks look nice!

Stop trying to change my move name. Its hook-front-over, right! Only Jambo is allowed to change names. TJS!

Great video as usual from you TTownJon. You've got a good range of skills.

Loving the hops to back where you keep it. Also love the bunny hops where the back wheel has to roll up the last bit because its so HUGE! Hook-front-over

Going to be trying out some muddy riding soon with these new spike tyres!

...Then it'd be worse than your Inspired?

Pretty sure they are 2.35. Ill get some photos. Got a 2.35 Cross Mark and a 2.35 maxxis high roller.

Hoover yer carpet you manky bast...

If you fancy some new tyres for it, ive got a few Maxxis part worn jobbies I'd swing your way for the price of pastage. PM me.

Ooooft. Lock neck grips have long necks all right! Good job on the caliper. Not seen that done before.

Mate. Yer cat looks like an old mans dick.

Oooh! Silver or black bars, and that would be sweet!
