Hi
Be careful adjusting the handbrake cable. If the callipers are the same as mine with the wind back pistons and self adjuster on the calliper for the handbrake.
If you try to tighten the handbrake cable too much, the levers on the callipers come off the "stops" this then stops the self adjusters working. You then tighten the cable a bit more and it all gets worse.
The 2 levers, one on each calliper, that the hand brake cable operates need to sit on the stops when the handbrake is off, otherwise the adjusters stop working. My handbrake lever is higher than I would like but the self adjusters do work, has just passed the MOT like that.
Be careful with the wind back tool and ensure you rotate the correct way. Some callipers are clockwise and some are anti-clockwise,
