Handbrake is starting to freeze on again, now it is getting chillier.

Apart from parking on the level, and leaving the handbrake off, any idea how
to stopit ?

I had the garage grease the links etc on the last service, which has made it
a bit better,but still happens.

Certainly I found mine increasingly sticking on. Had them cleaned and
greased at the 24k service which solved the problem, but I notice the
handbrake's starting to stick again now (56K) if left for a day or two.

(Another Marea Weekend, which is very poorly at the moment)
FIAT : Fix it again tomorrow.

On the Coupe it happens because the rubber coating on the links splits and
lets in water.

Apparently you can fix it by drying out the links and then resealing them,
but I haven't tried yet.

There was an article on how to do this on the Fiat Coupe forum, but it's
been lost with the rest of their data.
