I guess I wasn't clear in that it didn't roll before the fluid change, and now it does. Sorry for leaving that out.

I think you have answered your own question.

I'm
reasonably sure my question was not if the mechanical brakes should function...

Well, in a sense I guess, yes that is what I was asking.

This is sort of what I was looking for. I did state above I was not sure if I have automatic valves, but at this point I will assume I do and that they are now working after the fluid change.

Well, if I had done that from go, then I wouldn't have known my automatic valve wasn't working, would I have?

Parking pawl thingamabob was seized to the pedal. I won't tell you I almost bought a 129 that was missing it entirely..

I was always a little slow, but this whole gravity thing is sinking in now finally.
The manual states to flip the relief lever on the tunnel cover to roll around manually. Between that, and not rolling before the fluid change, one might get the idea it's not supposed to move when turned off. But again, me slow.
Easily my roughest start on any web forum, but glad to be aboard, I think!
