Hello,
I would be really grateful for some advice. I have a 2004 mk2b 1.2 8v Punto which has just passed its MOT. I parked it on the side of the road yesterday and I went to pull the handbrake up as usual but it was very very loose. It does hold in place but I have pulled it very far up which doesn't seem normal. I didn't hear any sound like a handbrake cable snapping so I'm not sure what's happened. Could it be one of the cables has snapped ? I luckily live on the flat in a cul de sac so I've parked the car front facing the curb in first gear with bricks behind the wheels.Didnt want to risk the car rolling anywhere !
I don't think I could attempt to fix this myself.
Does anyone know what the problem might be ? If one of the cables I r both have failed is it expensive to fix?
Thank you in advance for anyone who can advise
