This has been covered a bazillion times before. The rubber bushes are worn and need replacing. They wont be covered under warranty I'm afraid as they are "worn"

Number 16 in the picture below. Easy enough when the cable has been removed. You could pull the cable to one side of the bracket number 17 and wrap lots of electrical tape around it for the time being

The tape idea sounds like a good suggestion, although as my handbrake is rubbish it's probably worth changing the cable anyway.

The cables are pretty robust and the self adjuster at the bottom of the lever will take up any slack unless the cable is stretched to the extremities of its capabilities.

I've already adjusted the handbrake adjuster as far as it will go, so I guess I need new shoes and a new cable?

I heard a creaking sound when I was towing the caravan home yesterday. Didn't do it on the way to Wales, but it drove me mad on the way home!

Mine does this, and by pressing the + button on the right side of the steering wheel I managed to fix it from inside the car@
