I have had my Bora for 3 weeks.

Today, I parked on a slight slope. Handbrake on.

After around 10mins, a man comes into the restuarant asking for the owner of the Bora.

I meet a woman who says she heard a click followed by the car moving and then a thud as it rolled into a taxi. The hand brake lever had released itself.

Fortunately, there was very little damage, but the taxi driver was very sympathetic saying that this was a common problem on VWs.

Has anyone else had a similar experence?
