hi all, just joined. i have a 60 plate 2l tdi company car, which due to my job i carry a lot of heavy equipment in the rear of the car. today i parked in a car park with a steep slope. when i returned to the car after completing my work , i found the car had moved backwards and hit a tree causing severe damage to the rear of the car,(it might have to be written off). the hand brake was still on, this has happened once before ,when i only had the car 1 week. (i thought i had'nt put the handbrake on,but i had). has anyone else had experience of this ? as i may be in serious trouble at work if there is no fault found with the hand brake. if anyone has any infomation / help i would be extremely grateful. many thanks martin1965
