Predictable update: it physically works, but the hall sensor, which I transferred to they new EPB housing, a la MacGyver, is not sending a signal so I’ve a MIL. Which other than being annoying won’t pass an MOT, due in August.

Was worth a try I guess. Hmmmm....

Oh well, at least you tried, and didn't cost that much to experiment.

All sorted, got a TRW (OEM) unit. Fitted, cleared faults about 5 times, cycled the ignition and it stuck. EPB now works well, and more quietly than it has in a while.
