Handbrake Travel

Can anyone tell me how far the handbrake travels when applied as mine appears to travel quite abit. It passed it's MOT in Sept when I purchased my Bongo so I'm hoping this is the norm [-o< . I don't need to apply the handbrake with any gusto to hold the vehicle.

Thanks

Duncan.

Mine goes nowhere when applied, but does about 6000 miles pa when off.

In fact it goes everywhere with the Bongo.

Sorry, someone had to do it. :lol:
