the adjuster is under the centre console just behind the handbrake, simple job.

Lift back wheels
pull hand brake up 4-5 clicks
adjust the adjuster under console until wheels just start lock
Perfect hand brake

wouldnt be just adjusting the cable personally.

Slacken the cable off in the center console, Jack the rear of the car up and locate the rubber grommet on the back plate of the rear hubs, remove the grommet. Look inside with a torch you will see a star wheel bit like cars of old with drum brakes, adjust it up until the wheels lock up then back it back 4 clicks, then adjust the cable in the car to move 4-5 clicks on the handbrake.

refit grommets let the car down job done properly..

Lee, are you the guy with the nicest garage ever on SN? I seem to recall a garage that resembled a very tidy and clean environment, and enough room to park sideways!

Plenty of room for a job like this! Hope it goes well.
