The car a is a 95 E250 Diesel S124, 500k km. I think shoes are worn and should be replaced because the pedal almost goes to the floor but i also think the pedal mechanism doesn't work as it should. The pedal is dangling and not fully returning when releasing the parking brake. To me it feels like a spring or something is missing somewhere. I can only make the parking brake light go away by very slightly lifting the pedal with my left foot. Thanks

If it's the brake pedal spring issue....

Parking Brake Pedal Spring Broken

Hi guys, is anyone able to help me out here ? I have spent the afternoon repairing my ABS ( W202 1995 C180 Manual ) motor. ABS light came on and I went through the forum and learned how to take it off. Found the + & - leads had no more insulation. They were positively green with a few frayed...

I have a monthly reminder in my mobile (among other car related reminders) to use/apply these brakes regularly (for safety and to keep the components moving)

Thanks a lot! Since the car is a manual, it has to be used every time the car is parked. On my automatic i always it too. A matter of habits i guess.
