Cleaned my summer wheels ready for fitment. Hoping I can get summer out of my Kuhmo tyres...

Any links to the guides mentioned?

https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=283174.0

The pics in the guide sub-linked within that topic are dead so I also used this Youtube vid just to get an idea of how to access (not full disassembly), bearing in mind that car's LHD so the wipers are mirrored meaning I could only get the right panel out.

cleared handbrake faults. Faults cleared  handbrake toggled off/on and it is now happy, but can't be doing this every time I get in it...
So looks like I've got some investigations to do.

Left had side handbrake is failing to release properly. No heat getting generated so don't think it is sticking. Hopefully motor just not releasing quickly enough..
