Hi all-
Long time lurker, once in a while poster. Everyone here has always been really helpful.
Here's the latest..
2000 OBW, bought used in good shape in VT. at 62,000 miles, Not amazing , but good.. Anyway, I have about 104 K miles on it and for the past few months, more like 4-6 months, I've had a big problem with the emergency brake holding.I've had the cable checked twice, and last fall when the dealer did the timing belt, he said it was not the cable, but an issue with the emergency brake system and the rear discs are fine. He thought the system might be rusted, as there's a lot of rust on the undercarriage, presumably from the VT winters.
I've been dealing with this for a while, parking in gear all the time ( 5 spd) but I've had enough with the slipping on slight inclines.
What actually needs to be done? I expect it to be expensive :-(
Thanks much !!!
