Hi, I'm having problems with my handbrake, there's nothing there, car just rolls forward. I've adjusted the cable and the handbrake feels really tight, but there's still nothing there. Car is a 92 1.6 4 disc brake model. Any help gratefully received.

Never knew 1.6L came with all 4 disc, but sounds to me like the rear cables or the brakes it self have siezed!! Good luck!!

Cheers, I'll check that. I was surprised when I saw it had rear discs, but I'm not comlaining

the foot brakes are really sharp, just the handbrake is dead

You must have the power package on yoru car?
Power windows, locks, ABS etc?
