XJS Parking Brake
Just purchased a 1995 XJS with 36K miles. The handbrake has no tension (not used to that) and it doesnt seem right. It will go on if you lift the handle and let it down. To turn it off i have to pull the handle all the way up and click it off. Is this correct? It;s not how the manual says to do it and no tension seems odd?

FWIW my '88 XJS had tnesion. I'm pretty sure you should be feeling tension as well, even though your '95 has a different type of parking brake than my '88

That's how it operated on my '88 XJS

What does your manual say exactly?
