Hi I'm new to the forum. I have just bought a handbrake release cable from ebay, as I have discovered a complete unit has to be bought from ford. I have fitted the new cable with the handbrake unit in situ, a bit of a fiddly job. I now find the cable where it comes out of the handle to be fixed to the release button seems to short. I may have routed it wrongly. The price I was quoted for supply and fit from Ford was £600. I will keep you informed.

Hi I'm new to this forum. I have just fitted a handbrake release cable to my 2007 Galaxy, I bought the cable from ebay, with a view to saving money on buying the complete assembly. The cable is very awkward to fit i.e routing through the hollow sections in the handbrake structure, I have done this instu by the way. I now find, where the nipple comes out of the side handle it seems to be about 15mm short to fit into the release button. I think I have gone around a corner I shouldn't have done. I will keep you informed. I have had a price to supply and fit from a ford dealer on 14.10.2017, £600 for a new handbrake complete.
