hi,
Need a new handbrake assembly, rang main dealers and they are £120 :hypo: can't find any on eBay or my local breakers yard, so was wondering does one of a e60/e39 5 series fit?

thanks
Simon

What's the issue???

If its the ratchet slipping you can fix it with a file.
But its a bloody pain to get out to do it though!!!

Hi,
It goes up 2 clicks and then that's your lot! Failed m.o.t on it, which is annoying because I never use it anyway lol

Cheers

The teeth on the ratchet mechanism on mine were worn. In situ, I used a narrow cold chisel and hammer to cut the teeth profile out again. It's been fine for years now. .. Worth a try.
