I loooked underneath the VL; the U shaped bracket that holds the handbrake cable was lose and had come off the bracket completely.
I undid the two nuts that hold the bracket in place, reconnected the handbrake cable to the U shaped bracket and then took up the cable slack by screwing down the nut onto the face of the bracket and then secured that nut with the locking nut.
Problem:
The handbrake handle inside the car, it just moves forward and backwards in the console and has no effect on the rear breaks.
*When I was under the car, I noticed that the threaded rod that holds the cable, bracket, and 2 nuts seemed to be lose (It moved in and out with no resistance) inside a box type thing that is attached to the underneath of the car.
Could anyone suggest if a component is broken or why the handbrake won't work? the handbrakes gets used everyday because the driveway is steep.
Any help appreciated
