Review: Relatively Cheap parking brake replacement - Brought this for my BMW X6. My last one failed and as the dealership wanted £600 plus fitting, thought I would do it myself. I also brought new handbrake shoes and fitting springs etc for the shoes. Must admit a bit of a fiddly job and took me about 4hrs to do, but was well worth it. The new handbrake works as described, although I did adjust the shoes up so they were just off biting before being applied. Also only applied when stationary or in auto mode. Have had installed for about 6 weeks now and all working fine. Time will tell if it was a good buy when it comes round to the MOT.
Review: Item no use - Purchased this item , fitted to car albeit 2 months later when I got round to it. It did not work. Thought it may just need set up or calibrated. Got a local bmw mechanic to plug in to set it up but to no avail. Would not communicate so no use.
