Have you tightened the little nut under the handle? are the pads wore down?

just leave your car in first gear when you park lol or you can do what Ceepo said.

there is more than one componet to your hand brake assembly, how could we know what happened from the little info you provided? Check under your car to see if any cables snapped.

It goes from 1 cable into 2 and the 2 cables mount to the chassis on both sides of your drive shaft. I have had one of those mounting points break in the past so check into that.

try all of the above. there isn't much to the e-brake assembly on a 240.

most common reason is worn pads, or that little nut that adjusts the cable tension but I have seen in one case a friend of mine's s13 the mechanical part inside the caliper failed and would not hold thus requiring new calipers. SO there are a few different things that it could be and that you need to check.

well all my pads are new and everything is tight but i think its the cables that are worn abd i do put it in first everytime. well i well investigate this further. thank you guys
