I just parked my car up outside my house, I have to park half on the curb and it's at a slight downward gradient. When I put the handbrake on it made like a 'popping' or 'snapping' noise, I immediately released the handbrake and stopped the car rolling on the foot brake and then re applied the handbrake and took my foot off the brake, the car was stopped fine however it now feels looser than before and clicks about 5 times before it reaches the top ( i think it was only 3/4 before)

So has something snapped or was it just a funny noise? I don't want to really carry on using it if it could be something serious. Is it best just to take it to a garage and get them to check it just to be on the safe side?

Might have snapped so now only working on one side. Park it in gear just in case at least till you get it checked out.

So you think I should get it checked before any journeys?

You will be fine leaving it in gear but get it done sooner rather than later. Easy job to do yourself and probably about 25 quid for cable

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile

Pull the centre console out where you adjust the handbrake and see if one of the cables is loose, you can also check from the rear calipers.

If you have snapped the cable I wouldn't want to ever get into an argument with you.

You deffinatally wont want to argue with me then. I managed to snap a cable and the pin that connects the lever to the mechanism in a week.
