Just popped to Tesco and the car has come up with a problem. Parking brake has failed. Any ideas on a fix or does it need to go to a main dealer?

Forgive my ignorance, is it a manual or electric handbrake? If its the former you might be able to take a look yourself, if its the latter its probably main dealer.

Week 38 2009 .New battery needed .Then software update.

So that's the original battery. Could this be the problem?

The battery causes the problem but after changing the battery a software update is required for the handbrake to fix the error, as said by Maxman

Thank you all.

Will get a new battery.
