footbrake - click click CLUNK

[alistairgd]

Maybe once or twice a week when I apply the footbrake (talking about the "handbrake" one on the left) I get click-click then a CLUNK that does not sound healthy. Would seem to be coming from the pedal and not from the discs.

Anyone heard of this?

so does mine, it's normal.
did you brake on downhill and your car still is in place not moving forward?
if it stays in place everything is fine

it's good to excerise this hand/footbrake if not being used it will go bad.

Nah, this is not normal, this is a broken kind of "clunk".

Try removing the 'ratchet clicker' and see if it still does it. It's sole function is to make the noise, the parking brake doesn't need it to work.

What actually holds it then?

I think it's some sort of clutch.
