As I've been slowly tinkering around I decided to look into the Handbrake switch, as the dash light had never lit with the brake ratcheted upward.
Access is under the central console, cupholder unit. I found it easier to push both seats forward to get to the two rear screws, the third screw is up front, under the rubber mat in the first cup holder.
Left rear screw
Right rear screw
Top Screw
When these have been removed, grab under the rear of the console, no need to take the ashtray out. The front left and right end of the unit has small 'hooks' - ie the end at the gear stick, so you need to sort of wriggle this ,I found to free it. Then lift it up over the handbrake.
This is the handbrake adjusting nut. I think its a 12mm spanner to adjust, first rachet position should cause slight drag on raised wheels.
This is the handbrake switch (black plastic) attached to the frame by a small bracket. The push button is towards the top, and is depressed by the underside of the handbrake. The white plug here, wasn't connected when I got to it. I pushed it onto the copper connector, lifted the handbrake and joy.....the light appeared on the dash
Reinstallation of the console, is the reverse of removal. Just ensure the front end hooks feel like that are in place and fit flush before tightening up the three screws.
