Dont think its required with the 1.6. My handbrake is shot and even on pretty steep hills it has enough torque to hold it still at tickover as I move my foot from the brake to the loud pedal.

If you were fitting a PTO or if you were wheelchair bound then yes, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

I had a hand throttle on my (auto) Pajero.
Useful for self recovery. i.e. leave in drive with hand throttle. Get out. Push vehicle. Get back in car.
