SeeNoWeevil Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Pulled up the handbrake as normal, loud snap from underneath the handbrake... but it still ratchets and engages as normal. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'd make sure to leave it in gear anyway just in case (if you aren't already). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strudul Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Could be that only one side has gone. Try set off with the handbrake on and see if it dips to one side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeNoWeevil Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 That's what I thought. It's only a single cable directly under the handbrake, but splits into two, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Not sure, but it'd make sense - gotta get to both calipers somehow. Might not be the cable though, could be something else that has snapped / cracked. Edited December 7, 2016 by Strudul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Might be a broken hand brake shoe on one side? (assuming modern cars still use them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
