may be a stupid question because everyone seems to be able to do it, but i have no idea where to start haha. i have a vs statesman n my hand brake has about 25 odd clicks... got a defect so need it adjusted, any help would be great thanks.

I'm not sure if a vs is the same as a vl but if it is then jack one side of the car up and slide under with a 13mm & 1/2" spanner and tighten it up (that is for a vl, like i said not sure if vs is the same..)

You should actually adjust your handbrake shoes before playing around with your cable adjustment.... There is a small hole in the backing plate behind the disc but its easier to remove your discs and adjust them with a flat blade screw driver Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
