Renault Megane 2 handbrake / parking brake does not work, what to do, quick fix 

Thanks for taking the time to make this, it's not easy trying to do these things whilst holding a camera in one hand. :)

Thank you very much for this video. My handbrake cable "fell off" today and it is now fixed because of your helpful walkthrough :)

Top tip, remove the plastic plate from the console where the handbrake lever comes to rest when the brake is off, push seats forward and remove both torx screws and you will be able to lift the console carefully from the rear and access the brake cables and adjuster nut, the design fault is if one of the arms on the rear drums starts to stick (and not all have external return springs) you let off the brake and the cable comes adrift at the handle end and next thing you know you have no handbrake which isn't what you want. Another thing I've done is to fashion a strip of metal (in my case an old piece of Meccano) and wire tied it to the balance bar so that neither cable can come adrift whatever happens, hope this helps and thanks to JUrtans for posting the video

Thank you for posting, will help me a lot tomorrow when helping my friend with his car 💪🏽

Thanks that you show us how to remove the tunnel. I need to replace the brake cable. Now I know how to do it.

Nice video my friend, thanks for the help! Regarding the two screws at the rear of the casing, down by the seats, l found it it easier to get out of the car and push the seats as far forward as possible giving much easier access to the screws. 👍🏻

You helped me fix a trim issue. Thank you!

Cheers mate got the same problem,duct tape it is 😁👍

Duct tape repairs all. xD Good vid. im sure it will help lot of ppl. My own prob is rusted handbrake. But its good to know how the wires goes to handbrake.

Ahh yes the safety duct tape!

The button is out and lost can use anything to act as a button

Thanks

Man your car needs a clean up after this job

Thx

Loosen central screw. Hang it back with hook wire. You don't have to be a boxer! Reset. Compensating plate is skewed, automatic brake readjustment is not good! That's why he got stuck. Google translator
