Unlocked and opened car yesterday and central display flashed up in red " electronic parking brake malfunction see owners manual" Had'nt even put key in. Had put handbrake on when parked the night before and all was well. Started car and handbrake light was flashing. Put into drive and car moved ok so handbrake was not on. Tried handbrake and could hear the motor in the back somewhere making its usual noise followed by a strange metallic clunk noise. At least it not stuck on. Was wondering if it the electric motor or just a cable come off. Anyone else had probs with these handbrakes.
 
Anyone not had probs with these handbrakes.

Would be closer. Infernal contraptions which should never be used.
