Agreed to Replace the car as a "Good Will Gesture"And Pay for any damages to neighbours House
Quick Update: Managed to get a meeting with one of the directors, really nice guy, advised that although he can't say there is a fault with the car, he can see why there could be difficulty getting the handbrake into the correct position, and will speak to HMUK Regarding this.Agreed to Replace the car as a "Good Will Gesture"And Pay for any damages to neighbours HouseI must say, i'm impressed
Very lucky

I don't know anyone who DOESN'T leave their car parked in gear with the handbrake on.To me it's common sense.And the old argument about protecting the gearbox by leaving it in neutral don't hold water in my opinion because if the handbrake moves enough to put pressure on the box then that proves it SHOULD be in gear to prevent exactly the situation faced by the o.p.
I can't remember, but the Holden's applied directly to the rear brake shoes, I don't think that is the design of the Hyundai.
Thanks cruiserfied for that.Last night, on a friends inclined driveway (much more than mine at least), I decided to test (in neutral engine running) how much 'travel' I would get with the hand-brake pulled on firmly in my FD.It was only a very small amount - I was a little surprised actually... as I seem to recall having experienced more movement sometime ago in a similar situation (but I might just be mis-remembering). Anyway just thought I would report that.
