The Handbrake on the 406s are shite,
better off throwing house brick under back wheel,

ithought the ford mondeos where bad for handbrake problems but ithink the 406 takes 1st prize on this one,

There a big pile of shite id say :(

bags of cement are the job for that loaded on a pallet easy to take off and when they get wet they go solid
but if you want a pickup the hilux is the best an old 2.4 is a good one its easy on juice unlike these new pickups that all do about 30mpg at the best of the time
