If it's a 200Tdi then yes it does screw into a bracket. As for a temporary fix see here

Seems expensive for the handbrake part!

Yep :-) A cheaper alternative is to make a replacement part yourself. A suitable sized piece of flat bar with an M16 x 1.5 nut welded to it would only cost about a £1 and take 15 mins to make.
