I've had problems with getting the handbrake to go down recently but when I went to park up, I pulled the hand brake up and it just dropped straight back down. No ratchet sound, nothing. |

It seems that it will intermittently stay up. I'll drive to shop and nothing, when I get home it'll hold up again. It's very odd. Anyone care to shed some light on why this might be happening? |

Mine has started doing this but in a paterne, every 3rd pull it doesn't hold. I think the wratchet mechanism is buggered I've got another handbrake lever to go on next time the seat is out. |

People with 924s and series one 944s: buy a series two 944 handbrake lever . If you already have a series two handbrake lever then youre unlucky as theyre far better with a reliable ratchet. If its worn or broken youll have to replace it. |

If it's only the handle then I don't mind so much, I was concerned there was a problem with a cable under the car or maybe the rear brakes. |

This was covered on Wheeler Dealers on a 924, they changed the lever without removing the seat. From 5 mins 20 sec http://www.questtv.co.uk/video/wheeler- ... 0%93-pt-2/ |
