    Give a rough idea of where you are, say Croydon.
    Then someone on here might be able to give you the name of a local ish mechanic.
    That quote sound expensive.
    Based in welwyn garden city Hertfordshire not far from hatfield

    I could help in Croydon or Lincs as have mechanic friends.

    Wouldn’t recommend driving to either area if brakes are gone 😂

    The brakes are fine at the moment, only the handbrake failed, so avoid emergency braking and hill starts, and park in gear!

    (Which is why it is likely a problem with the handbrake linkage or cables, as the service brake has passed)
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
