    Handbrake Gone Loose - Caliper Problem?

    Ah okay, thanks for that, really helpful. Will give that a whirl and see which side isn't holding. Once I identify which side it is, what am I looking for - a detached cable? If the caliper likely needs replacing, I presume something more fundamental should be wrong?

    Comfort Control Module - are they all the same?

    Can someone tell me if the suffix letter on the end of the part number means anything on the CCM? As per many others I've had the joy of significant water ingress into the passenger footwells recently, and just pulled up the carpet to find the CCM going for a swim in its box! :blownose: Number...
