'Have you been abusing your box?'

I don't know about box issues but there were pictures of big .... as typical of the dailymail. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

For me, it's Hand break on, then neutral to park.
No chance of rolling, even if tapped from behind. DAVE.

In our garage the front wheel runs over a small batten bolted on the floor & then straight up against a large block of wood fixed so the car doesn't go through the wall. The car won't roll anywhere. Then I put it in neutral, foot off brake for a couple of seconds, foot on brake so I can put it in park. Don't bother with the handbrake as the car won't roll anywhere.

On a hill I do point the front wheels to the gutter accordingly for up or down hill & use the handbrake before putting it in park. If it is a steep hill I use the handbrake button a second time & you can hear it tighten up a bit more. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
