Astra just failed test -Wheel on drivers side didnt hold when using handbrake but ok if using foot pedal- why would this be?
Astra1999
Handbrake and foot brake use different callipers - the handbrake only works on 1 set of wheels (front or rear) whereas the foot brake uses separate callipers on all 4 wheels. In your case, I would guess the handbrake calliper on the affected wheel has failed. Other, foot brake callipers and disks obviously working OK.
