Parking brake iffy...

[Hogweed]

Hi - recently bought a 15 reg Insignia diesel auto, very low mileage, and the only fault I can find so far is that the electric parking brake switch seems only to work intermittently - ie sometimes you have to press it 2 or 3 times to get it to work.

Is this a known issue at all?

I'm hoping it's just the switch...

Thanks

It could be a fault with the switch, one of the calipers or even the pads sticking in the carrier brackets.
Also, ensure that the EPB has been calibrated when the pads were replaced and retracting the piston, if not then this may also be the problem
