X5 Parking Brake Mechanism/ Assembly
I'm hoping some of you guys can help

My hand brake wont stay up past 2 clicks unless I give a real tug and pull to the top. I have adjusted the cog behind wheel and cable tension from inside the car but nothing works. It seems to me that the teeth on the ratchet/ mechanism could be worn making the hand brake lever drop down.

Is there any further adjustment I can do to the mechanism or do I need to replace the whole handbrake mechanism?

To replace the mechanism do I have to remove the centre console?
