Hand brake not working
Hi need some help just replaced all brake disc and pads but now the handbrake will not work and can't get out of park I think the rear brake shoes may need adjustment but can't get gear lever out of park cheers

Was the key in the ignition whilst you were working on it? That will flatten it in a few hrs.

On my D3 battery was down to 7 volts in about 4 hrs. after I left the key in (switched off). Didn't do the battery much good , but fortunately it expired one day before the 3 yr. warranty and a new one supplied , no questions asked.
