My wife has been driving my r129 this week for school run as her car is in the garage for some TLC.
Today she rang me to say the brake handle had broken off but hand brake was off.
I said good so when you get to the school do not put the handbrake on. But 20 mins later another message popped up on my phone saying sorry I forgot and pressed the pedal for the handbrake.
luckily I was nearby and went out with some pliers and other tools.
a standard plierwas enough to grip the metal bar that was sticking out and I could release the handbrake.
seems part is readily available for about £45 and will be fitting it soon
on the plus side on the way home I enjoyed watching the car as I followed it home. I still think it is a fantastic car to look at but I am biased
