The picture for that seller you linked to is not for the earlier models - (470205, 470208, 470210) and agreed 470214 is the replacement part for these earlier models - but the even later part is 1612865480 which is the one you linked to with no cable. 470205 shown with release cable: As for the plug - it is also shown on the current handbrake diagram which I've highlighted: As for the manuals - it was still showing the manual release in the 2014 2015 model and was only dropped from the last manual in the last production run of late 2015-2016. So it has been a feature right up to 2015-2016.RichardW wrote: ↑29 Aug 2019, 10:10 In the parts list it says with the latest unit that you should also take this item: 73

Which is presumably a plug to put in the hole where the cable no longer is - it's not shown on the parts dia for the handbrake - but I found it on the body blanking dia, item 3:
But I would agree you are completely stuffed in the event you cannot release for whatever reason - so make sure you get your relay breakdown included in your roadside cover.
@ Steve:
There must be a way to hook up the manual release cable to the unit if you have the cable already now that you have removed the old box?
