Had a hell of a scare this weekend after parking up at a service station. I'd just bought a used 996 and was taking it for a spin, I'd parked on a slight incline, put the car in neutral ( engine still running ) and applied the hand brake, while I checked the map. Looked up to realise that I was rolling forward as if the handbrake wasn't gripping at all.
Admittedly not a mechanical genius but I expect that when the handbrake is on, it's ON. After I repositioned the car and switched the engine off all seemed to be ok. Is this indeed a sign that the hand brake is trashed or this a known but scary issue? Always leaving the car in gear from now on!
