Handbrake cable come loose?

[jesus]

My mate was driving my car, and I noticed the handbrake was pulled up quite high, a lot higher than usual. I'm not sure what's happened but now, to get my handbrake to come on, I have to pull it up to about twice the usual height. Could it be that the cable has come loose? Any ideas on how to sort it, or other suggestions?

Thanks!

that happened on mine mate,

What happens is the nipple snaps and then only one side works! pain in the bump lol!!! easy fix though.

Time for a new pair of cables.
If one has snapped then it's worth replacing the pair to keep them balanced.
Renault only. Patern parts DO NOT FIT.

Whats the easy fix?

Mine might have this problem, just put it down to the shot rear pads.

Buy the cables from Renault and fit them. Easy easy job! It's all plug and play!

Yeh but it's a fucker because you've got to wap all the exhaust off and all the heatsheild from under the car. It's alright if you've got a ramp but a bit of a pig on the drive.

Which part of the exhaust are the cables near? The cat area?
