Had a bit of a nightmare, the plastic push button that allows you to realise the handbrake has snapped. Was just wondering if anyone knows a part number or the best/easiest place to get a new one? This button >
Yep mine did this a few months back, got quoted 330 quid to replace the whole handbrake by Reno. But there may be someone breaking a megane for spares. You can pull the button with pliers so at least it works but button will keep falling out.
Yes I can still release the handbrake by manually just pulling the actual cable, so I can deal with that in the short term. But how do I go about fixing the problem? Do I just need to order a brand new handbrake handle itself or........?
A new one of a good second hand one. Expect to pay £250 is (maybe a little less) for a new one or around £50 for a second hand one
Ahwell its not just me then lol, my button is snot snapped or broken, its just comes out now and again , surely you can just buy a new button and not the the complete handrake system as there is nothing wrong with it???? any help be much appreciated , again button is not snapped or cracked, and goes back easy enough, just pops out about 3 times aweek
Unfortunately, you need the entire handbrake. When the button goes, it's usually the bits inside the habdle that have broken. I opened mine up and tried aralditign it back together, but it didn't work.
cheers for reply smegal, I am abit confused, the button is not broken or cracked, the two long bits of plastic are still there , I can still see the locking arrow thing on the one side and it goes back in well enough and works great, just pops out a few times, so to fix that problem I have to replace the WHOLE UNIT ?? sod that I will just put summing there to stop it popping out then lol
