When pulled fully on it is near verticle and aint doin too much. Is this a warranty fix, or will it end up costing me at ford??? Also if it is going to cost me, is there any way that I can fix it at home instead of taking it to the dealer??

The service guy might actually say he's seen it before and can give you an idea if it is a warranty repair or a payable repair.

Things may have changed however in my case once the car had passed 3000klm ford service wanted to charge me $90 to fix it (for 2 days) as it was classed as an "adjustment" Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24026-hand-brake-not-right/#findComment-359367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipa_12 Member 182 Member For: 19y 3m 29d Location: Canberra Posted 14/03/06 12:54 AM Share Posted 14/03/06 12:54 AM I got the same problem with mine. It just needs to be adjusted. I still havent had it done yet, but apparently people from here have told me that's its not covered under warranty but that its not that expensive to fix up either.Just a crappy designed by ford which means it has to be adjusted often.

I would rather have a handbrake than have the engine hold the car in place Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24026-hand-brake-not-right/#findComment-359390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
