3200 handbrake

[Kevgta]

Hiya,
Can anyone help me with this, my handbrake light is off when handbrake is on and flashing when handbrake is off, don't make sense like working in reverse

On a 3200, just be thankful that the light still works.

You know what they say about Italian wiring, may as well be made of spagetti

.....spaghetti filled with smoke.

We can still reverse up hills though!

Check the microswitch under the handbrake lever. Sounds like its may be the culprit. Its around £15 for a new one. Test the old one with a volt meter first and see if it is indeed operating in reverse to intended.

Part number is 383300157

A 4200CC can as well; traction control off and a bootful of gas and it'll slide along as smooth as a cat p!ss!ng on glass.

Cheers Kenny, is it easy to change and get the gaiter off below handbrake?
Cheers

Leave it until next year & the gaiter will fall off ?
