Which series of CR-V? It's normal for old DETROIT vehicles to do that
when water gets into the brake cables, but I've never heard of CR-V
doing it, except if you've been fording the creek on a cold day and it's
frozen the next morning. If it's been stored with the park brake on it
will do that (should be stored with park brake off)

I've noticed the handbrake on the GEn II CR-V is supposed to be adjusted
for something like 5-7 clicks before lockup. The early versions of the
Honda manual for Gen 1 said 2-4 clicks, IIRC. Another writer said the
auto-adjustment won't work if you try to make the Honda park brake work
like a VW (1-2 clicks). I've backed off my cable so I'm getting 6 or 7
clicks, and I like the body mechanics of having the lever come up
higher. I think your chiropractor would agree.

:-) There's very little about a VW that I want my Honda to imitate
anyhow. :-( 'Curly'
