Haven't had a good look just wondering if someone can give me a direction where to start.
When I pull my hand brake when I park, occasionally it sounds like the locking ratchet mechanism isn't locking and then it springs back down. Only does it sometimes... Is the gear that the lever sits on worn too badly?
Odd handbrake problem

Getting the covers off isn't too hard, the mechanism is pretty simple. I tried to take a photo but my phone wasn't going to cooperate...
There is a semi-circular notched 'gear' which the level slides over, there is a sprung pawl that gets released when you press the button. I'd inspect and clean it in place, before resorting to serious disassembly.
