The handbrake cables are adjusted by a nut behind the handbrake lever.
Basically remove the centre console section of interior between the two front seats, its fairly easy to do this. Then jack up back of the car and place on axle stands so both wheels are off the floor (remembering to take relevant safety precautions, like putting car into gear, and chocking front wheels for example).
Once this interior trim is removed, pump the brake pedal a few times, then pull handbrake lever up and back down 10 times.
Now pull up handbrake lever to the first 'click' on ratchet, take a deep socket on a ratchet (cant remember size sorry, possibly 13mm but not sure) and tighten the nut on the thread, then go and check if the wheel can or can't spin. Don't over tighten and release nut again a bit if need be, you want to be able to just turn the wheel by hand when on first click.
