Did the garage say what the issue was ? Something snapped, worn etc.
According to Service Box there are no replacable parts on the handbrake lever assembly, but there are plenty of them on Ebay at under £50. Make sure you select the right one for your model of RCZ. They may vary - but I cant...
They are available on eBay for a lot less. I don't know if there will be any issues doing a straight swap, if so any decent auto electrician should be able to do it.
North Cardiff (where I live) is one of these 20mph zones. I have no problem with there being a speed restriction near schools, or in densly populated housing estates but the extent to which the Welsh Government (and Cardiff City Council) is madness.

Looking at the removal tool, it seems that once in position it needs to be rotated to compress the spring. I cant think of another way of doing it so it would seem this tool is essential.
Pedro, No need to keep it to yourself. I value your knowledge and experience but I'm sure you understand and agree that before spending hundreds or even thousands of pounds do your research.
Using the excuse "it must be true because it says so on the Internet" is not a valid defence.
btw, according to Service box its a 30 min job. Refilling and bleeding the cooling system is also required but I'm sure someones done a "HowTo" on here.
