On my 1993 +8, I have an issue with the handbrake and I'm hoping that one of you folks has been down this route, and knows the fix.
The chrome cap on the handbrake lever is immobile, and appears to be stuck in the "depressed" position. The result is that the lever can be pulled to the "on" position (complete with warning light) but it is not possible to "set" the handbrake on the ratchet, and so the lever returns to the "off" position when released. It's not possible to move the cap up or down the shaft at all, and inserting a rod into the tiny (> 1.5mm, <2 mm diam.) hole in the cap won't tighten or loosen the cap. At present I'm reluctant to try to rotate the cap by brute force (mole grips etc)
The pictures in the parts book aren't too informative, either.....
Thanks in advance for your help, thoughts etc
Dave
