There`s a chap that advertises the stainless handbrake handles in the classifieds. He does the buttons but obviously in stainless.

Sorry, late to this. It's worth looking around the passenger footwell for the button, spring and nut.

This happened to me yonks ago with my first Chimaera and I found the parts lying there. It was surprising how many washers (of various sizes) flew off via that spring!

It all re-assembles by simple clock-wise turns and ever since, when I'm sitting at lights, I tend to just twist the button to ensure it's tight.

Thanks for this - I've searched high and low for it but think it may have gone for good. I suspect the threads on it have gone as its not been quite right for a while. Perhaps time to upgrade to a Leven.
