"pop' from parking brake? 120-130

Hi

Have you had a chance to check your cables yet?

I had a 'pop' from the handbrake a few years back which 'sounds' like a similar problem to your one.

It turned out to be one of the handbrake adjusters stripping it's thread with a bang resulting in a slack handbrake cable(s) with the brakes still working OK.

You can check from under the car because the adjuster will be sticking fully out of the backplate and not respond to screwing back in - drum off and new adjuster required was my solution.

Hope this helps
