Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Has it siezed up on not holding. If not holding you could try and adjust it by undoing the screw in the bottom of the chubby hole in the consol there will be a aliuminium u shape with adjusters on it just don't tighten them to much. Try just take up the slack if any. If that doesn't work you've got to do it by take of the rear discs I've just changed all mine with new shoes and adjusters. Took me a day and I got my parts from design 911
If you don't want to go down the DIY route, try Autostrasse in Coggeshall, Essex. We have used them for our 996 and previously for our 3.2 Carrera. They are knowledgeable and pragmatic about what does and doesn't need to be done.
Thanks for your help
