clio handbrake silliness caused by ?

7 new pence !!!!

the handbrake lever has been messsing about for a while, not wanting to go quite all the way down, and the stop light just flickering on ( the handbrake has been releasing ok).

anyway after putting off looking at it the final straw today was when I went to go out in it and the lever wouldnt release enough for the hanbrake to go off ( had to go out in the 260 instead - oh dear

anyway had a look between showers and found a two pence piece firmly lodged under the lever mechanism, and a five pence piece in there also.

So Im now a little bit richer, wiser, and happier

Well there can't be many repairs carried out where you end up richer than when you started, It's got to be an incentive to fix every problem quickly!
