sounds like it needs re-adjusting.

There is a DIY somewhere here that myself or Wynode did....EASY to do....

yer its a 15 min job

you just need to remove 2 screws on the side of the handbrake cover and use pliers to tighten the nut connected to the spring

Good to hear its all sorted :)

When does it 'engage' now? like do you have to pull it up a lil bit or all the way up before it grips?
