My car is a 1.3 auto, 2016, and I have owned it for half its life. What a super all-rounder it is. If I was pointing the finger at all, it would be its inability, to climb anything more than a moderate hill,without the following traffic, wanting to climb into my boot! But I can live with that, because it excels at everything else that it does.
My question, is one that I am sure, some people will be able to advise upon.
When I am sat at the traffic lights, waiting for them to change to green, I have to keep my foot rested on the brake pedal. I would prefer to set the handbrake, and remove the annoyance of my brake lights, dazzling the driver behind.
However, even though I apply a fair amount of pressure to the handbrake, the car is still pulled forward slowly, by the torque of the engine. Yesterday, I replaced the rear pads, and lubricated the slider pins, after checking that the discs were in good condition. I can live with this, but I have not come across it, with any other vehicle that I have had.
So, thanks for reading,....does your auto do this?..... I will be interested in any replies. Thanks.
