Well it never just rains does it? Along with my leaking high pressure pump, I've now got no ratchet on the handbrake :mad:.
I feared the worst (whatever that might be) when after moving forward in the traffic at some lights I pulled the lever (whilst pressing the button in my usual way) but on releasing it went straight back down. So I pulled it again without pressing the button: no ratchet and I must have pulled it all the way because that provoke the brake warning light as well.
After a search through here and after a calm down and going back out to the car to investigate I'm sure that it's a broken spring in the handle.
I found a fix here - http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=753927&postcount=6
I was wondering if anyone can shed more light on the spring location and size?
