I am having trouble with the hand brake, as I tow a caravan I do not want to be unable to hold it on a hill, etc. I see there is a mod version which I can apply for from one of the members, if possible I would love to have if fitted by Arctic.

Drop him a PM. I'm sure he will be able to accommodate you.
The caravan brakes should lock on if you start roll back on a hill.
Give them a check too.
The Rover brakes need to be applied gently now and then when you are on the move. Apply them for a few seconds every couple of weeks or so. It will keep the rust off the drums and make them work much better when you need them.

On the contrary, Car a van brakes will unlock if you reverse. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to reverse.
Replacing the compensator is a good idea though there are alternatives from R50 Mini that you might also consider. Steve (Arctic) is a good man to talk to.

If you want to reverse with my car-a-van you have to move a flap on the tow hitch to stop the brakes being applied. Otherwise they act as---Brakes. Lol
If you try to reverse without doing this the car-a-van will NOT roll backwards.
After WWI they changed the system

Got his wish I fitted the compensator for himlast weekend, he is now coming to the next nano after being informed that it would be to his benefit, as it would to any owner of a R40 or MGZT

Planning is an unnatural process, much better to just get on with things, that way failure comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceeded by a period of worry and doubt

Or are you going to punish me for by passing the caravan filter ?
