What have you done to your Elgrand today?

paddy the wheel caps were nearly done as well but another member needed a set so sent him my spare ones
 
So my wife borrowed my Elgrand today as the MOT ran out on her car and appears to have pressed the parking brake on hard enough that it won't disengage...

Pedal appears to be wedged pretty close to the carpet which presumably means she hasn't snapped the cable (is it cable operated on these???) but is now getting in a flap about how to disengage it. Any ideas???

Yeah they are cable operated. It goes all floppy if it’s snapped.
It’s a push to release ratchet style, so she might just have to be forceful at giving it a sharp push to get it off.
 
She managed to get it undone after a few tries... not sure why she'd felt the need to bury the pedal in the carpet when parking it on flat ground lol

Also, it's not like she's unfamiliar with foot operated parking brakes, her Merc has one!
