Electric handbrake problems with a Renault Scenic

Can you tell me please do you need to match the code's up when buying a second hand, hand brake motor with cables?

Well we consider that if the unit is U/S then the only option is to purchase a new one.
Reason is that they are a one fit only part, and even then the new part has to be programmed into the car which will need diagnostic equipment to complete.

Far better than the previous model. The Grand model seats seven. Practical and versatile. Excellent crash test rating.
