    I just passed the letter onto my landlord (he bought the car off me for his daughter) and told him to let vauxhall know the change of ownership when he takes it in

    I think its the ratchet mechanism they replace, but I might be wrong.

    Just call your local dealer and tell them you want to book the car in for the handbrake recall.

    Nope, it's just fitment of a stronger spring. It's purpose is to ensure that if the handbrake should slip, it will 'take' on the next ratchet down, rather than drop completely.

    And Ed, it is worth doing, as the brake feels held on much more firmly. Takes about 20 minutes. Just take your car to the dealer to get it done. It's a recall, so it won't cost you, and should be done 'while you wait'.
