I was waiting for about half hour for "Er Indoors", as I arrived too early for picking her up.
Parked on a steep hill nearby and as I was sat in the car anyway, decided to apply the handbrake as advised by Honda's recall letter and for the first time in donkey's years, left the car out of gear. ( just out of interest).
After about 10 minutes, there was a series of groans and the car moved downhill about 300mm. The handbrake lever was still fully up. Contraction, I reckon.
