Parking brake problem

[ypkx]

Oh god, experienced the worse today.

Im at work and just parked up on a hill. Put on the park brake thinking it was working but NO. started rolling and shat myself!

My parking brake doesnt seem to be working if you didn't conclude!
If i hold the pedal down, it works but it doesnt catch. The handle is very loose and wobbly.

Its almost like in a normal hand brake car, that you've held the button in and pulled the brake up but the button is stuck so the car wont park? If you see what i mean?

I think i did a quick google and said it was an easy fix. But there's nothing like hearing it from the 202 enthusiasts themselves!

Help me! :O
