Hi all, new here! I have just been given a Ford Iveco 0813 which started fine but the handbrake was stuck on. Clouted the hubs a few times and then handbrake went off. Drove it to my house and put handbrake on to open gate and now its stuck on again. Tried hittign it, rocking on gears but very firmly stuck on. It drove fine the 3 miles I had to move it.
Anyone got any ideas as to what it might be. I am not an expert on lorries but reasonably mechanically minded so happy to try most things suggested.
Cheers John

Cheers John Had a bit of a play and the tanks charge when I first start the engine, enough to release the hanbrake, goes up to around 8 on the two gauges. I can then release the handbrake. The pressure reaches the pressure for the release valve and it lets some air go, but then it drops back to 6 and never rises back up again. Anyone got any ideas? does anyone know what this bit is?
