yung long distance driving po ata eh hindi direct relation sa pagwarp ng rotors dahil sa pag handbrake mo kagad after turning it off. yung pag preno ng madalas at high speeds will cause the warp in the long run, lalo na kung natatalsikan ito ng water during rain. pero kung malamig na ito when you turn it off, ok lang. kahit shortdrive pero kung sobring init ng preno dahil sa sobrang gamit, pwedeng makawarp din ito pag hinandbrake kagad pag-off.

pero wag tipirin ang pag gamit ng preno dahil sa pagaalala ng warped rotors

wag ka na lang masyadong mag tailgate driving

malakas makasira ng pads yung handbrake overnight or for a day after driving the car in heavy rain. maninikit ang pads sa rotors at isang malakas na THUD madidinig mo kinabukasan pag atras mo sa garahe

nagtataka lang ako. hindi ba pagbaba pa lang mararamdaman mo na
na medyo nagmo-move na yung sasakyan? kahit mabagal lang.

Pano nga pala yung mga jeep di ba wala sila handbrake? What if naka-park sila ng pababa? Kase kung paahon naman parking gagana ung ilagay sa first gear para hindi mahulog. Pero kung nakapark ka pababa tapos naka-gear hindi ba dadausdos un? O naka-reverse gear naman in that case?

i heard that leaving the car in gear in lieu of using the parking brake is bad (TM)

kasi daw pag natamaan yung car while in gear, basag yung mga gear teeth in the transmission.

SOP din sakin handbrakes. Ok lang naman since the Pajero has dedicated brakes solely for the hand brakes (mini drums embedded in the rear discs). Nissan Patrols kick it up a notch by having a drum brake that brakes the propeller shaft (not the wheels).

same with trooper, may drums din ang rear discs... matingnan nga din ang explorer pagpunta ko sa casa next week

sir, dapat e pinark nyo sa other side ng gate ung pajero, sabay bitaw ng handbrake. baka sakaling dumiretso :D
