Can't you just park it in gear for the time being, and then sort a new cable out during the week? An engine to TDi for!

Laughing

was only joking (sorry)

last time I had the hand brake off the plastic lining on the cable was frayed at the end and suspect this is sometimes preventing the brake from fully retracting (and possibly causing different problems).

I've left it till the last minute as usual but thought if I could get a replacement I might be able to replace it tomorrow.

where's MOG ? - I prehaps need to order up one of his ready for next weekend
