For questions on specific cars you should ask on a site like this.................

Give it a try!

Can't remember to be precise but it's either beneath the rear ash tray (or blanking plastic if no ash tray) or lift the rubber suround to the actual physical handbrake and there's an adjuster under there.

i was going to say " pull it up, handbrake on. let it down, handbrake off " but then thought i would be deemed a prat by one and all. so i won't.

If you remove the rear ashtray you will find a nut using a 12mm spanner you can tighten the handbrake ideally the rear wheels and drums should be removed and the shoes adjusted

Toureman, don't know if you have noticed but all questions on this site are about specific cars! there is no need to try & be sarcastic. as your comment could apply to every question.

also to anybody that replied thanks. it was under the ashtray .
