Whilst piddling about with my car I unhooked the clutch position sensor to see if it helped with the poor take up and hesitation on gear changes.
It didn't, but it did flag up check handbrake and the service light came on. The car drove, but once stopped and started, the electronic HB wouldn't disengage. I had to reconnect the sensor, turn the engine off and on again for it to work.
Why is there any connection between the operation of the clutch and the electronic handbrake on these cars?
If this thin piece of plastic breaks, you are stuck with the HB on. I doubt the RAC or AA would consider looking for this sensor in order to fix a handbrake.:crazy:
