Hi I have just fitted new parking brake shoes but one of the cables appears to have slipped from the mechanism under the rear seat. How can I access this unit. I have removed both rear seat bases but don't know how to remove the centre console. Is the access panel under the car or inside?

Is the access panel to the parking brake cables under the centre console?

Hi Kohigstiger, don't want to spoil your Saturday evening but do you know how to access the parking brake cables. are they under the rear centre console inside the vehicle or underneath the car hidden by the heat shields?
