Ahhh... so that's why your handbrake cables are stretched to buggery.

Possibly the only redeeming feature of an Auto box! Would be nice to have such a feature on a manual.

they're ok until some twat smashes into the car whilst it's in park.
Then you end up with the rather unpleasant task of having to strip the box and remove the broken bits, or run it as is and risk blowing it up!

Dear all. Bugger I knew Somebody would come up with that one but it's very true, I was only trying to be a smart ass, foiled again.
Cheers.
