Hi, pushed the footbrake lever to find it just depressed smoothly without the usual clicking nothces, what has happened , do I need to get it looked at urgently ?

does the footbrake still hold or does it pop back up again?

i wouldnt say its super urgent - i hardly ever use my footbrake.
 
There is a silly little piece of plastic in the mechanism. Its only function is to make a noise. Mine broke off about 3 years ago, I have no intention of ever replacing it. I am very happy not to make a rasing noise when I put the parking brake on.

Think of it as an improvement, then forget about it forever. I did!
 
Mine makes no clicking noise as well so must have broken but works 100% so what duncanh is saying is got to be right.
