i spray wd40 along the rear beam, is the cable and springs on there

funny thread, as the lad says, give it big licks and dump the cluch, try giving the break cable a pull from under the car,

always happens on the gf's tigra... just be ruff with it .... if you brake it the parts cost about 20 quid to fix it...

happened on my gf's corsa the other day, back left drum too. she kept saying it wont move no matter what i do (sat on a steep hill too), so i went over, revved it like said above, and it went lol :lol:

Do the tyres have air in them :o

Okay, now that I've had someone else with me I have found out that it's the back left wheel not rotating.

I guess I'll get it up on a jack and give it a good kicking.

I've been pretty aggressive. The funny thing is I might run out of petrol soon!!

Just be a bit more aggressive, failing that give the drums a bit of a whack with a hammer or something.

yep, nothing happens

try going bk and then foreward

Just went and re-tried that, but it still won't budge.

:boggle: :(

Probably just the handbrake stuck on a bit, put it in gear and just rock it forward on the clutch a bit and it will release. Then just go down the road and use the brakes a bit to clean them up.

I've come back from a week away to find my car won't budge. When I remove the handbrake (and the handbrake light goes off too) the car acts as if it was still on.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to the cause of this, whether it is the handbrake or whether there was something else to look out for.

Thanks
