help how can i fix my handbrake

[b3owb]

The button on my 06 megane dci handbrake will not return unless i pull it,thus hand brake does not rachet and lock just drops ,having to leave in gear when parked,Has anyone stripped the grip /button mechanism and repaired.or replaced complete unit ,if so how do you remove the plastic centre consol section between the handbrake and gear stick so consol can be lifted above handbrake to replace unit,
any advice would be appreciated this car is costing a fortune windows,brakes,air con wheel bearings etc etc etc....

Hi, having the same problem with mine, there is a flimsy bit of wire and a tiny spring that need bending and what not, google 'megane hand brake fix' and its one of the first hits

good luck

I wrote a guide on this. Search for it.

Either replace the whole unit (as per my guide) with a scrap part, or repair the handle (others have described this in detail).
