I reckon I could count the number of times that I've used my EPB in almost three years on my fingers and toes alone.
Never had a problem......... The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

I use mine every time I stop .. Yes, I've had problems (sorted) but still use it a few dozen times a day
I use mine much more in winter when I'm driving (or at least waiting at traffic lights) in the dark to avoid dazzling the person behind me. If only the people in front would show the same courtesy
And because I'm not superstitious, I can say that it's working perfectly at the moment

Don't use it too much or too little, or it will fail I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

I use mine all the time at lights, junctions and when parked up. Only issues I had is after offroading thru water/mud and I get the squeal. Just needs cleaning by the stealer.

Never use it and I'm now out of the habit of applying.
Even after Tong lake, when I tried it on purpose it didn't scream....... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I use mine loads, and always at traffic lights unless it's a bmw behind me when I wont use it as I like to see them squint.
Only have squeals at crawling speeds, its started in the last month, so far I've turned the volume up on the music system and can no longer hear them
I use mine all the time. Had a squealer within my first year of ownership that was fixed under warranty and it's been fine ever since (3+ years and 48K miles).Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills
