i can't figure out whether this is normal, or something to be very very worried about.....
had the GTE jacked up, with the front nearside wheel off. wanted to run the engine for a bit to charge the battery so checked it wasn't in gear, and started it. noticed the speedo was reading 8-10mph, bit odd.
walked around the car to find the brake disk merrily spinning around! double checked gearlever - definately neutral. there's no force to the rotation, you can stop it by pushing on the brake pad and the engine doesn't even falter, but as soon as you let go it slowly starts to spin again.
hmmm........
