Used handbrake levers vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Alfa Romeo 159 uses an electronic parking brake (EPB) operated by a button rather than a conventional mechanical handbrake lever, so there is no physical handbrake lever fitted to any variant of the 159. If you are looking for the EPB switch or button assembly, that is the part you need to search for instead. Alternatively, if your car has an unexpected lever, confirm the exact setup with a breaker against your registration.
The 159 was produced from 2005 to 2011 with a facelift around 2008, and while the EPB switch design is broadly consistent across the range, subtle changes between pre-facelift and post-facelift interiors mean you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration before buying. Interior trim parts including switches can vary by trim level and production date, so a like-for-like match is always the safest approach.
The 159 was sold in the UK in trim levels including Turismo, Lusso, Sporta, and Ti, and while the EPB switch performs the same function across all trims, the surrounding centre console trim and switch surround can vary in finish and design between levels. It is worth confirming with the breaker that the switch and any associated surround panel match your specific trim to ensure a clean fit and correct appearance.
Because the 159 does not have a mechanical handbrake lever at all - it uses an electronic parking brake button - the body style of saloon versus Sportwagon does not create a fitment question in this case. The EPB switch or button is what you actually need, and you should confirm the correct part with a breaker quoting against your registration regardless of body style.
The 159 does not use a mechanical handbrake lever in any variant, so if a breaker has quoted you a handbrake lever, there may be a mislabelled listing or a misunderstanding about the part you need. The 159 has an electronic parking brake operated by a switch, so it is worth going back to the breaker and clarifying whether they mean the EPB switch or button, and confirming it matches your post-facelift 2009 car specifically.
