Foot Brake <-- Stuck!

[webng]

As the title suggest, my foot brake is stuck. The brake light is on but i don't think the brakes actually engaged as it'll still roll forward in D without any pedal pressure. I usually never use the foot brake as it has occasionally been a bit sticky but has always returned with a bit of pulling. Now it won't budge at all. Is this an easy fix that i can do myself? I'm just worried that i may forget it's broken, push it all the way in and engage the brakes with no way of disengaging them.

just had a quick look at mine nick,you mightbe able to get the bottom plastic bit off the dash(around the release lever) and grab the cable with some multi grips and pull it to release it all the way?just a thought?

Fixed. Couldn't get the plastic bit off, but i traced the wire release to a catch under the dash and pushed it all the way in with a screw driver which released the foot brake. Brake light is off now so it's good. Would like to know how to tighten up that wire though, it felt quite loose.
