My handbrake cable decided to snap yesterday.....and it ran off.in gear.yes in gear.
The hill I live on is a clue....
Scratched the rim of my new alloy where the kerb stopped it
I consider myself lucky

Damn lucky with the curb stopping the car mate. Guess this a lesson for everyone to get their cars checked over before winter. Did you have the car in the wrong gear btw.
Now im off to get the mind bleach because of this

kicking isnt what i'd do to her ovaries, but being as its a family forum we'll leave that there
so it rolled forwards down the hill and was in reverse?

No, what I meant was if it was facing down the hill (which would imply bonnet facing down the hill) but was in reverse gear, how did it happen?
would suggest it reverse wasn't fully engaged in the box surely?

one of only 3 options then surely.......A) your reverse cog is completely stripped.....B)despite what you may have thought it wasnt fully in gear......C) clutch is utterly mullered and it slipped (never heard of that happening though, as I reckon you'd have noticed a slipping clutch well before now)
cant be anything else can it?

Or the engine has a compression problem....

you'd have noticed a compression problem severe enough to allow your car to roll down a hill in gear well before now Daz
