Ratchet gone to Ratshi...
For reason yet explained my handbrake no longer ratchets. I replaced the cables, and now all it does is tension the cables but realeases them...
So many plans, so little time
Re: Ratchet gone to Ratshi...
the spring inside the handbrake itself has prob done tits and therefore doesnt engage the little pin thingi to ratchet up.

Re: Ratchet gone to Ratshi...
well the button still works, as it still makes the little thing go up and down. Maybe the metal hook bit has snapped?

Re: Ratchet gone to Ratshi...
Wanna get this sorted out. Is it possible something has popped off and dissapeared into the chassis?

Re: Ratchet gone to Ratshi...
It's defo something to do with the handbrake leaver. It will be the pin or something or a spring I think.
It would be worth unbolting the leaver and having a proper look at all the moving parts.

Re: Ratchet gone to Ratshi...
Sorted. The ratchet kinda spins 180 so It hides in the handle. Spin it back round and its fine.
