Dan D90 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Does anyone knows if there is any difference between the TD5 handbrake lever and the 300tdi?? My handbrake seems to be seized, I was going to replace it with an x brake so I have purchased the bracket which sits behind the handbrake lever and holds the cable, which apparently is needed. It might be a while before I can afford the x brake so I thought I would take another look at the current setup. It seems the brake cables on the TD5 and 300tdi are a little different. The TD5 cable seems to sit directly into the handbrake lever, whereas the 300tdi is threaded and screws into the bracket Without the bracket attached the 300tdi cable is a sloppy fit: Are there different handbrake levers for the TD5 & 300tdi? The 300tdi cable also seems to be a bit longer: Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 best I can find part number wise is this -- STC4391 from VIN AA232763 to LA935629 ANR3692 from VIN LA935630 it doesn't say if the backing bracket is required on all vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveturnbull Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 On the TD5 type the bracket is effectively built into the handbrake mounting plate. The earlier hand brake levers don't have the cable guide on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
