[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1304215, member: 33696"] ever driven those sprinters? not the 1st generation... those shifters can easily be bumped into any gear; they don't have a push-lock button like the workhorse /freightliner stepvans... i also sometimes bump it into manual-mode by hitting it left/right pretty sure if he engaged the parking brake lever, it would have stayed put, even in gear (under idle); give it a try & report back the rear disc/drum setup of these expensive mercedes vans doesn't rely on the rear disc brake pads to hold the vehicle in place... instead, it has a drum brake setup for the parking brakes inside the rotor hat ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i had a GMC boxvan that relied on the brake pads only as both the parking and working rear brakes... they wore out on me & i told the contractor that the problem were worn rear pads... didn't listen and to the tune of $1k repair, learned his lesson not to put it off pad slid off & caliper piston popped out... new rotors too since it was metal-to-metal if he caught it in time, only pads were needed & those are under $50 [/QUOTE]
