Very pleased to read you have fixed the problem..............................but to have to take up that much slack on the cables .......hmmmmm.
Time will tell , just be careful .

Not going to use the handbrake until MOT ....

OK, had the chance to check out. Couldn't see anything obviously broken , so took Duncans advise on adjusting the 10mm nut at the lever. It was about 5/10mm from the top , found a deep 10mm and wound it down until its now firm on 3 clicks. It's now wound down to about 20mm. Many thanks for the step ...

Cheers for all the advise, I'll look at it over the weekend and see what's what.

Yes

Could you run an idiots guide by me please Duncan

My handbrake pulls all the way up all way now as in, no more clicks left,and on a steep hill it won't hold the car. Am I right in thinking that there's a simple adjustment at the handbrake itself, inside the car?

Many thanks.

It's a pain so yes please. Thank you.

It's the base of the stay that should fit securely (not come apart) as you're looking at the front of the car, left hand side . So wherby at the moment , the stay comes away in your hand .

Mines broken too, so I'd be interested in a club venture to supply these .

The cutting out, as Duncan says, probably dizzy, but check your coolant level as this can affect low idle/cutting out at a stop.

Not that it helps , but a rare part now . After all my years of Probe ownership , I've only 1 spare. As Dunc says, possibly go down the repair route.
