Hello

Maybe the butterflys in the E -brake came off but this shows that your brake was not proper adjustet before and had to much play to allow them snap over and out.

Lift the rear and pull the E brake and turn the wheels ( or try it ).

If they are working evenly then just wiggle a bit on the cable and check if it feels evenly on both sides.

You also can check if the cables show up evenly in the holes behind the E brake lever.

If you have sounds while pushing any direction or driving you have to go the full way before you use the car again.

If not it is a weekendjob.

pelican has a tech article about the E-Brake system and the repair.

Grüsse,
Lazy Roland
