[T3] Handbrake not fully engaged.


I have a type3 squareback and when I pull on the handbrake
all the way the car won't move but the ratchet (cawl??) doesn't
seem to click as often as I would like - i.e. the last click
won't stop the car from moving when I release the brake and it 
relies on the last tooth that it clicked on.

Can you help me with this problem ?

Is it a matter of putting lubricant on the ratchet so that it
slides easier ?

Should I replace the mechanism?
