If your hand brake doesn't work you may just need new brakes in the rear, but in some cases the hand brake cable may have stretched and need some adjustment. To adjust the hand brake cable tention you must remove the 1" by 1/2" cover located on the driver side right next the the handbreak. You will find a hex nut that controls the tention which has a socket size of 12mm. Turn nut to the right until desired tention on handle.

Hi it's simple just park the car up and pump the brake pedal afew times,then with the hand brake off remove the centre console and you will find the adjustment there keep adjusting until you are happy with your adjustment,be carefully as not to adjust to much or you will have brake binding issues as it is a disc brake set up on the rear and the brake pads tend to expand when hot and contract when cooled down,so just adjust enough so you are happy with it and that it is holding/locking the rear wheels and refit centre console...."job done : )
