If you lift your boot and under the boot carpet is a compartment with a hazard warning on it. Lift the cover off and you will see a handle pull that hard and it will release the brakes on the back wheels.This will probably leave you with a warning on your dash saying Parking Brake Fault. To cure this and get your handbrake working again take the negative lead off your battery and put it on again the ECU resets itself and the warning goes off your dash and your handbrake is working again. You would then have to reset your emergency handle in the boot that is excatly were i am up to as my brakes locked over the weekend and i had to use the emergency handle to release them but i dont think it is to hard looking at the manual or take it to a competant garage and i'm sure they can do it quite cheap.
